For those looking for some good television to watch this New Year's Eve night, for the first time ever a line-up of celebrities and their families will take part in Ireland's Fittest Families-Celebrity Special.

Tonight at 8.30pm on RTE One, singers Sean and Conor Price will join an impressive line-up of celebrities including 2FM broadcaster Keith Walsh, actress Norma Sheehan, and Dancing With the Stars judge Brian Redmond to battle it out for €10,000 to be donated to their chosen charity and to be crowned the winners of Ireland's Fittest Family-Celebrity Special.

The celebrities and their families will be put through their paces as they face the ultimate fitness challenge with the support of their coaches Anna Geary, Derval O'Rourke, Davy Fitzgerald and Donnacha O'Callaghan.

Naas CBS students Sean, 18, and Conor,15, first rose to prominence when they auditioned for the famed singing competition The X Factor in September 2017 with their modern version of Jimi Hendrix’s ‘All Along The Watchtower’, complete with rapping from guitar-playing Sean and vocals by Conor.

Their performance was greatly praised by Simon Cowell who said that it was “one of the best auditions we’ve had.”

The talented duo who are originally from Blessington in Co. Wicklow made it all the way to the quarter-finals of The X Factor, before completing Junior and Leaving Certificate exams last the summer and touring Ireland with their own headline tour 'Be Like You.'

In October 2018, they released their debut album 'Dreamer' to the delight of their legion of fans.

The Price brothers will be coached by former Irish sprint hurdle athlete Derval O'Rourke as they participate in Ireland's Fittest Family-Celebrity Special, and the brothers are hoping to get a large donation for their chosen charity Pieta House.

Meanwhile, Newbridge native and 2FM broadcaster Keith Walsh and his family will be pushed to the limit by coach Davy Fitzgerald and their chosen charity is Make A Wish.

It's sure to be a great night of television to usher in 2019 and to catch all the action, tune into Ireland's Fittest Family-Celebrity Special tonight Monday 31 December at 8.30pm on RTE One.
