RTÉ’s star presenter Ryan Tubridy has offered to pay back two payments at the centre of a “fiasco” the broadcaster has been embroiled in, as he laid bare the toll it had taken on him personally.

Former Late Late Show presenter Tubridy said that he was due to make six more appearances for commercial sponsor Renault as part of a contentious deal at the centre of the crisis that has engulfed RTÉ.
