New season of Ireland's Fittest Family postponed following death of participant

The new season of 'Ireland's Fittest Family' has been postponed following the death of one of the participants.

The popular show was due to return to TV screens on Sunday.

However, RTÉ has chosen to delay the broadcast after one of this year's competitors died after the series was completed.

The broadcaster and the producers, Kite/Animo, have expressed their sympathies to the family involved.
