Byrne said she was “honoured” to have her name linked with “such a prestigious broadcasting role”.
CLAIRE BYRNE HAS removed herself from the running to replace Ryan Tubridy as presenter of RTÉ’s The Late Late Show.
“I have a young family, a busy home life and a full-time radio job that I love, and right now, that is enough for me,” she said. “While I’d never rule out other TV projects, the Late Late Show should be presented by someone who can give it the time and dedication that it deserves.” Byrne added that she was “honoured” to have her name linked with “such a prestigious broadcasting role”.Prime Time’s Miriam O’Callaghan ruled herself out of the contest in the days after Tubridy announced his exit.
Prime Time host Sarah McInerney is the new bookies favourite to replace Tubridy with Patrick Kielty, Baz Ashmawy, Dara Ó Briain, Jennifer Zamperelli, Tommy Tiernan and Angela Scanlon also considered to be major contenders.Making a difference A mix of advertising and supporting contributions helps keep paywalls away from valuable information like this article.
