Boylesports has halted betting on the Late Late Show presenter gig as Patrick Kielty becomes a firm favourite for the role.
The Northern Irish comedian hammered into an all-time low of 2/5 from 3/1 over the course of just a few days. Boylesports officially closed their betting this morning as the odds show strong support for Patrick.
The surging interest occurs after broadcasters Claire Byrne and Sarah McInerney ruled themselves out of the race. Claire's announcement that she would not be taking on the role shocked RTE viewers, as she was the bookie's firm favourite to nab the job following Ryan Tubridy's departure.
