Sarah McInerney is the latest in a string of female broadcasters to pull her name from the running to be the next presenter of The Late Late Show.

The RTÉ Drivetime and Prime Time presenter said jokingly on Twitter she would “not be taking over either from Ryan Tubridy or James Cordon”, who recently quit a US show of the same name. “Nor have I sought Waystar from Logan Roy,” she said.
