MAIREAD RONAN IS the host of Ireland’s Fittest Family.

Last night, she shared an unbearably cute letter she received from a young viewer. Ronan appealed for anyone who knew a Fitzgerald family in Castleknock with a young daughter who had a very keen interest in the show to make themselves known.

She’s hoping to arrange a Christmas surprise if she can manage to get in touch.

HELP... Does anyone in the Castleknock area know a Fitzgerald family whose little girl might have written this letter to RTÉ about @FittestFamily? We’d love to get in touch with her parents to arrange a small Xmas surprise....if you do let @KiteEnt know! pic.twitter.com/tk3UjqxEbC

The letter reads:

Dear RTÉ One,Do you know the way that you have Ireland’s Fittest Family? Can you make Ireland’s Fittest Kid? In groups of five. Not in one family, two, three or for one family. Who ever enters has to pick friends or family. If you do, can I have five places in the competition please. Just make the things smaller and lighter. Please write back, I am 10.

“Just make the things smaller and lighter.” The cuteness.

Some people suggested it may have been a letter from former Tánaiste Frances Fitzgerald, who has a little bit more free time these days.

Hmm. There's a certain Frances Fitzgerald in Castleknock who might have tome on her hands. Not sure she meets the age requirement though!
