Patrick Kielty has become the new bookies' favourite to host The Late Late Show after RTE stars have dropped out of the race.
The Northern Irish comedian and television presenter, 52, who was previously listed as a 66/1 outsider, has seen his odds tumble from 2/1 to 5/6 after Sarah McInerney ruled herself out, RSVP Live reports.
This puts Kielty ahead of other frontrunners Baz Ashmawy and Jennifer Zamperelli who are at 13/5 and 14/1 respectively.
