Tubridy proves top showman

IT could have been a scene like the end of a Boyzone concert, or a celebrity walking the red carpet at the Oscars, but no, this was Ireland’s very own top chat show host Ryan Tubridy mobbed by dozens of school kids screaming “we love you Ryan”.

Security at the BT Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition at the RDS looked a bit bewildered as kids of all ages swarmed around the television presenter.

“He’s being hounded,” quipped one of them as Tubridy found himself signing bags, books, toys and posing for mobile phone videos.
