Comedian Patrick Kielty has emerged as a front-runner to become the new host of the Late Late Show.
The Co Down funnyman is now seen a popular choice to replace Ryan Tubridy, who will depart from the Late Late Show hot-seat next month after 14 years.
Leading bookmakers Paddy Power have now slashed their odds on the 52-year-old replacing Tubridy after some heavy betting on him over recent days.
