RTE's Kathryn Thomas has teased a new show that involves her and young daughter Ellie travelling around Ireland.

The Operation Transformation host is currently on staycation across the country in a campervan with her two-year-old.

The presenter is known for her travel shows across the world but due to Covid-19 restrictions in place, there'll be no adventure shows abroad to be shown on RTE in the near future.

Kathryn teased the new show called No Place Like Home which is set to air next weekend.

She said: "Good morning from beautiful sunny Cove. Hope all is good. I'm trying to get the steps in before we hit the road again.

"I don't think I actually said to you. The reason that we are on the move is for a new TV show called No Place Like Home which will be going out on RTE from Sunday the 9th of August.

'SO BUSY'

"It's all about staycations so myself and Ellie are touring around in a camper van. Loving the old camper van life, I don't mind telling you.

"We're camping, glamping and we stayed in a hotel last night so it's a mix of everything.

"Anyway that's why I have not been posting daily because we've been so busy but I'll put up a few pics and videos now."

She also showed a kayaking experience in Wexford and stand up paddle boarding and yoga in Waterford.

Kathryn gave her fans a sneak peak inside her camper van on Instagram as well.

The news comes after the Irish Sun revealed this morning that RTE are struggling to fill their Autumn schedule due to coronavirus restrictions.

As a result many of RTE’s most loved shows, including the Tommy Tiernan Show, First Dates and Dancing With The Stars will be missing from our screens.

One RTE insider told us: “Travel shows, dating shows, anything involving choirs, all those sorts of programmes are gone.”

Really looking forward to the show , not.

I have more than a passing interest in travel on our island.

Camper vans seem to be the flavour of this unusual summer.

I'll give it a look.

I saw in the ad that Jake Carter and his dancing girlfriend also in it so expect Nathan also to show up

Because we really need another show with Kathryn Thomas :mad:
I definitely won't be watching. Her voice is like a nail scraping on a chalkboard, she hurts my ears.

I might give it a go. I’ve never seen

stand up paddle boarding and yoga

at the same time. She must be fit!

Has anyone seen the ad for this? Kathryn Thomas again, on a paid holiday with her kid & as if that’s not bad enough Jake Carter on a free holiday with that annoying dancing lady! A good idea for a programme but who could watch this lot!

Katherine's yoga retreat business has to all but close but lucky us RTE rescue her and give her loads of work and now give her a campervan for a paid family trip around Ireland to tell us what we're missing out on . Nice.

It’s not what you know, it’s who’s managing you.

If you know what i mean...

Camper vans are really expensive at the minute thus making this show a little tone deaf

Mores the pity.

The roads are full of these lumbering beasts and their inept drivers.

They could have given normal families who couldn't afford a staycation the chance rather than some irish z list ppl .

Thats a great idea. Something very off with KT exposing the daughter so much

Now that's a programme I would watch.

Not sure what the point is in starting this series now. Schools should hopefully all be back in a few weeks so not much time left for holidays around Ireland unless you've young kids or think your kids need more time off.

Yea Jesus the kid is only 2 but yet is rammed in front of a camera (Making cash) already.
Then they’ll be whinging about the tabloids in a few years 🙄

On planet rte such practicalities rarely enter consciousness. They’ll be cheerleading keeping the schools closed anyhow so it’ll fit fine.
Must be due a Primetime on the horrors of schools and deadly Covid 19 soon.

Can anyone explain the need for the 'House Band' ?

From the Irish Times review of the programme, this extract might help

For these segments Thomas wears a flowing white dress to indicate, I think, that she’s the Ghost of Holiday Plans Past. And there’s also a nifty house band, The Homebirds, who play country music. This is presumably to warn Dublin-based viewers that they’ll hear nothing else on the radio once they get beyond Bray. To quote an anonymous source in Montrose: “It was this or a clip from Deliverance.”

Is that a banjo I hear?

Doubt it. The only ones obsessed with their lives are themselves, nobody else interested, not even red top rags.

Muahahaha

Im scratching my head as to how they filmed this. Some scenes have her daughter in it and then others like the interview with Taghd Furlong do not. Does that mean they paid for a full time babysitter to follow them all around Ireland? Or is the husband with them but not on screen and getting a free holiday out of this.

I read one of the promo interviews-it gave the impression that the hubby came along also.

Having just driven (in a car, not a motor home, TG) along the Mourne Coastal Route and then a good part of the Causeway Coastal Route, there is no way I would attempt the former in a motor home. The roads on the Mourne Coastal Route are simply not up to it, neither condition wise nor width wise. The Causeway route is much better, but having encountered a rather large tractor and (loosely) associated trailer on the first one, coming the other way at top speed, my strong recommendation is don’t do it in a motor home!

Tonight's show was more like Who Do You Think You Are with Kathryn going back generations to her ancestors who came from the Blasket Islands, her mother, cousin etc. If it's not her family it's her friends that are on the show.:rolleyes:

Hubby or some other adult must have been there to mind the small one as she’s not in all the scenes...
