Celebrities line up for TV slim-down in first series of Celebrity Operation Transformation

Five well-known characters will be shedding pounds and maybe a few tears in the first series of Celebrity Operation Transformation.

Taking part in the new spin-off series are comedian Katherine Lynch; solicitor Gerald Keane; TV3’s Midday presenter, Elaine Crowley; comedian Karl Spain; and RTÉ radio reporter Brenda Donohue.

Kathryn Thomas will present three one-hour episodes airing in early autumn on RTÉ One that will follow the five celebrities over a month.
