Ireland's Fittest Family winners: 'We’ve never experienced anything like it in our lives'

The Nugents from Co Louth were thrilled to have Davy Fitzgerald as their coach and say there is another side to the hurling manager that we don't see

The Nugent Family from Co Louth were crowned the winners of Ireland's Fittest Family. 

The final of Ireland’s Fittest Family had us all at the edge of our seats on Sunday night as the Nugents from Co Louth narrowly beat the Fitzsimons to be crowned the winners after a “brutal” challenge. This morning at their home in Drogheda, things are a little more slow-paced after a night of celebrating with family and friends.

“I’m probably a bit worse for wear after last night, being honest with you,” laughs mother of the family, Mags. “My phone has been hopping since yesterday evening. All of our phones are hopping and I just haven’t really had an opportunity to sit down and read those messages or anything else but it’s definitely been a great buzz."
