Ladbrokes is no longer taking bettings on the new Late Late Show host as Claire Byrne remains a strong contender for the position.
The bookies said that they were pulling the bettings due to media reports that suggest Claire Byrne is a "done deal" for the role. The broadcaster was previously the bookies favourite to secure the gig, with odds of 1/3.
Other people tipped for the role included Sarah McInerney at 3/1 and Angela Scanlon at 5/1. Rumours that the next Late Late Show host is set to be a woman have been rife since Ryan Tubridy announced he was stepping down as host this May.
