TV host Graham Norton has revealed he always hoped to follow in Gay Byrne’s footsteps.
The Cork presenter, who’s series The Graham Norton Show is an international hit, said he never imagined he would have got his own show like Gay himself.
“Growing up I always thought I might be a guest on a chat show,” he said.
“I never realised I would be the guy in the chair.”

Meanwhile the former Father Ted star revealed he felt bad after BBC gave him his own show – replacing Jonathan Ross after his scandal with Russell Brand.
“I was like ‘this looks terrible’. It looks like I had broken into his house,” Graham admitted.
