The Sunday Game host Jacqui Hurley has revealed she desperately wanted to host the show back in 2017 – but thought the opportunity had passed her by when she didn’t get it.
In January, RTE announced the Cork native would replace Des Cahill following his retirement on the RTE sports show.
But Jacqui said landing the role as the show’s host came “out of the blue” after her disappointment in 2017 when she was overlooked for the job at the time.
