Tubridy in talks to replace Gerry Ryan

HE became famous for what he had to say, but RTÉ is staying tight lipped on the race to replace Gerry Ryan.

Weekend reports suggest Ryan’s close friend, Ryan Tubridy is in talks to fill the hot seat, with a €1 million deal on the table for the 37-year-old presenter.

An RTÉ spokesperson said it was making “absolutely no comment” on reports that Tubridy is to take over the show in September.
