THE call has gone out for would-be Cork stars of this year’s Operation Transformation on RTÉ following the success of team leaders from Leeside in recent years.
Cork woman Clare Scanlan who took part in the last series of Operation Transformation. The show is seeking new participants for the next series.
The Irish television phenomenon is now in its tenth series and producers are keen for a leader to be from Cork, considering the inspirational Corkonians on the show in the past.
Last year’s four leaders continued their health journeys long after the cameras stopped rolling and collectively lost 11 stone and 3.5lbs since starting on the OT Plan in January.
Presenter, Kathryn Thomas, said: “This is a special year for Operation Transformation. We’ve just finished our first ever celebrity spin-off and now we’re gearing up for an amazing tenth series! I’d encourage anyone who has been thinking about making a change in their lifestyle or fans of OT who’ve been meaning to get involved, to stop waiting and apply today. Last year’s leaders are proof that the Operation Transformation plan works and that you can lose weight and keep it off. So don’t hold back and make 2017 your year.”
West Cork native Clare Scanlon has continued dropping the pounds following the programme.
She said: “Initially it was my husband who got the form for me, I took quite a while filling it out, doing it in bits and pieces. It wasn’t until the day in Santry with the top 20 that I realised I really wanted it. I wasn’t happy with my weight and it got to the stage where I was buying clothes just because they fit. I started to not want to go out and socialise because of it.”
She encouraged would-be Cork people to apply, stating she now had a new lease of life and that her confidence continued to grow.
She said: “Why not apply? You have nothing to lose and an awful lot to gain. One person’s reason for applying may be different to another’s, and people’s weight gain can all be for different reasons. If your weight is holding you back in anyway, I would suggest you apply.”
