Tubridy enjoyed ‘bonkers’ Eurovision spat on ‘Late Late’

The Late Late Show host Ryan Tubridy has revealed he enjoyed the “bonkers” Eurovision row on his show. The RTÉ star yesterday told his radio show listeners that he knew there was a “stormer brewing” due to tensions between mentors and judges before the show aired.

Louis Walsh came under harsh criticism from mentor and Aslan guitarist Billy McGuinness for being on the Eurovision panel on The Late Late Show when he had links to two of the acts.

But Tubridy said he was caught off guard when former Eurovision winner Linda Martin stepped off her seat and walked down to the audience to confront Mr McGuinness in the audience calling him an “odious little man”.
