RTE star Marty Whelan has backed Patrick Kielty to be the next host of the Late Late Show.
The popular presenter described the Co Down host “a good guy” who would do a “good job” if he was to take over from Ryan Tubridy.
Speaking in Liverpool ahead of the Eurovision semi-final, Marty said: “I was wondering what he was doing at the IFTAs, I thought ‘Has Cat Deeley won an award’. I was wondering why he was there because nobody else was,” he said joking.
