A new favourite to win the race for the most coveted job in Irish broadcasting has emerged after Claire Byrne made a shock exit.
RTE Prime Time host Sarah McInerney is the new favourite to take the prestigious role of The Late Late Show host, according to Paddy Power bookmakers. Claire Byrne had been favourite to take over the job for a number of months since RTE heavyweight Miriam O'Callaghan announced she was pulling out.
County Down comedian Patrick Kielty is second favourite followed by Baz Ashmawy. Claire Byrne announced on her daily radio show that she was not interested in the job due to commitments in her family life.
