- LARISSA NOLAN

OPERATION Transformation leader Marie Clear says her show success means she can now follow her dream of having a baby.

Marie, a school special needs assistant, plans to start fertility treatment as her next big goal after the RTE health and fitness show.

She is the first leader on OT with anchondroplasia - a form of dwarfism - and has been advised she needs to keep at a healthy weight before getting pregnant.

In last night's episode, she told presenter Kathryn Thomas: "I always wanted to be a mam. I'm 33 next week and I ain't waiting for no man.

"Time is ticking and it's the one thing I want. I am in the right place for it. I think the time is now. I'm checking off goals for the next chapter.
