20 hopefuls face final cut for ‘Operation Transformation’

More than 500 people unhappy with their weight applied to become an Operation Transformation leader.

Now whittled down to 20 hopefuls, the finalists met for the first time in Sportslink gym in Santry, Dublin, yesterday, to be physically and emotionally assessed for inclusion in the seventh series, which is due to be screened in January.

When RTÉ’s John Murray had a poignant “circle of truth” session with the group, it was clear how their weight has affected their confidence, lifestyle, and wardrobe.
