RTE has not ruled out the notion of a husband and wife duo as new hosts for the Late Late Show.
Patrick Kielty is now the frontrunner to take over the flagship show when Ryan Tubridy departs at the end of this month - but it hasn't been ruled out that that Patrick’s wife Cat Deeley may join her husband as co-host.
When asked about the prospect, an RTE spokesperson said today: "We will be revealing the new Late Late Show presenter in due course. We have no further comment to make at this time."
