Beeb recruits Tubridy

THE young fogey is off to Auntie.

The Irish Examiner has learnt that Ryan Tubridy is set to join the BBC later this year in a move that will raise fears in RTÉ that their top star may move to Britain on a long-term basis.

However, fans of the presenter’s TV and radio shows on RTÉ are being assured the broadcaster has no immediate plans to quit the station.
