After a long run of 17 seasons, the popular weight-loss show on RTÉ is saying goodbye. Discover the behind-the-scenes details and the impact of the show's end!

RTÉ's beloved show, Operation Transformation, bids farewell after an incredible 17 seasons. The show, known for its inspiring weight-loss journeys, saw leaders guided by a team of experts including clinical psychologist Dr. Eddie Murphy, dietitian Sophie Pratt, Dr. Sumi Dunne, and the iconic host who took over from Gerry Ryan, Kathryn Thomas.

Kathryn Thomas, who infused the show with her empathy and charm, truly made Operation Transformation her own. The decision by RTÉ to end the show comes as a surprise to many fans who have followed the program over the years. The news of the show's cancellation was shared with the cast and crew some time ago.

RTÉ's announcement to axe Operation Transformation marks the end of an era for the long-running lifestyle show. The broadcaster aims to refresh its lineup with new content, leaving viewers nostalgic for the emotional weight-loss journeys and transformational stories that Operation Transformation brought into Irish homes.

Since its debut in 2008, Operation Transformation has been a point of controversy and inspiration, capturing the hearts of viewers and sparking conversations about health and wellness. The cancellation of the show after 17 successful seasons leaves a legacy of empowerment and transformation in its wake, reminding audiences of the positive impact it had on countless lives.
