Mairead Ronan is on her way to meet her two best friends for a night away and she is effervescent with anticipation. “I am peak excited. I can’t wait. I think I've packed for four nights even though we are only going for one.” 

The Mum-of-three has had quite the year. Between Lockdown One and Lockdown Two, she alternated between presenting her midday show on Today FM and filming the next season of Ireland’s Fittest Family , airing tomorrow night at 6.30pm on RTÉ One. All this, while navigating the challenges that Covid-19 brought to people around the world — it’s been an eye-opening 12 months.
