Gaybo still a smash hit with Roses

GAY BYRNE is back on his old stomping ground in Tralee and yesterday nearly crashed his motorbike into the back of a bus.

But don’t worry folks – he’s unharmed.

The legendary broadcaster wasn’t behind the wheel of an actual motorcycle, luckily enough, but instead was trying out a simulator as part of a Road Safety Authority launch next to the Dome. His travails with the ‘bus’ sparked a fit of giggles from his wife Kathleen, who was looking on, although Gaybo did have ample reason for taking his eyes off the road as he was surrounded by some Rose contestants.
