Northern Irish comedian Patrick Kielty is now the bookies' favourite to take on the role of the new Late Late Show host.
After Ladbrokes called it a "two-horse race" between Prime Time's Sarah McInerney and Kielty, the RTE presenter confirmed she is not in the running to take over.
Paddy Power is now placing the Co Down comedian well ahead for the presenter's chair with odds of 5/6 for becoming the new Late Late host.
