Former Late Late presenter Pat Kenny has opened up about how he missed his children growing up while host of the RTE chat show.
The Newstalk star hosted the iconic Friday night programme from 1999 until 2009 after taking over from original presenter Gay Byrne. But Pat admitted that although he was at the helm of the country’s biggest show, his stardom came with a price.
He missed spending many weekends with his daughters Kristina and Nicole when they were kids. He said: “Obviously I wasn’t around at times when maybe I should have been around. I mean who gets up early for the swimming lesson on Saturday morning when I’ve done the Late Late Show the night before?
