RTE viewers all 'in tears' at 'funniest' TV moment in Ireland's Fittest Family eliminator

Donncha O'Callaghan is another family down after his Mooney's lost out in tonight's eliminator on Ireland's Fittest Family.

The popular RTE show had viewers hooked from the start as families took on some gruelling tests in an attempt to reach the next round.

And the latest show saw Donncha O'Callaghan and Anna Geary and their teams facing off in the final eliminator - dubbed the "best eliminator they've ever had".

It was the O'Brien's up against the Mooney's and it came back down to the very last few seconds in a frantic finish.

The O'Brien's got their mum up before their opponents which kept them in the competition, but the way the Mooney's ended up had social media in fits of laughter.

Caroline tweeted: "That poor da hanging upside down is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen."

Steven O'Driscoll said: "If there's a better programme anywhere in the world than #IrelandsFittestFamily I can't find it, absolutely superb telly, it's got the lot, Anna for the win this year."

Mary Higgins said: "that has to be the funniest thing on TV this year. Great finish."

Rachel B tweeted: "The best show on RTE, still laughing at that finish."

While champion boxer Gary 'Spike' O'Sullivan labelled it the "best finish ever".

Host Anna Geary tweeted herself: "Wow, that was tense! What about that for a finish! Two amazing families…have you ever seen an eliminator like it?"
