Ryan Tubridy has reassured fans he has no plans to leave The Late Late Show.
Last year, Claire Byrne was tipped to replace Ryan as the show’s host – making history by becoming the first female presenter.
However, Ryan has insisted he’s not going anywhere just yet.
Speaking to RSVP magazine, the RTÉ star said: “I might get to 150 years and then I will be out of here.”
Ryan also spoke about being diagnosed with Covid-19 earlier this year, which forced him to take time off The Late Late Show.
The father-of-two admitted he was “shocked” when he was told he had tested positive for the virus.
“I got the phone call to say that I was positive and I was quite shocked,” Ryan said.
“I was unnerved by the phone call because it is not one that you want to receive and I was quite confident that it wasn’t going to be a positive test.”
“When I hear other people’s experiences, they have had it a lot worse that I did.
“I have been told by people I work with that I did look quite shook around that time, which I take as a caring compliment as opposed to a judgement on my exhaustion,” he added.
On this week’s episode of #GossChats, Goss.ie Founder Alexandra Ryan chats to Jackie Fox – who lost her daughter Nicole to suicide after being cyber bullied.
