RTE Late Late Show latest odds: Claire Byrne now red hot favourite to take over as host

Claire Byrne remains the firm favourite to replace Ryan Tubridy as Late Late Show host.

The broadcaster is proving the most popular with punters this week, according to the latest odds from Boylesports. Claire has jumped from 6/5 to 2/5 odds of taking over from Ryan this May. The betting agency confirmed that interest in the odds had increased amongst the public after a previous lag.

BoyleSports spokesperson Sarah Kinsella commented: “The odds have tightened on Claire Byrne for the first time in about two weeks and despite a recent lull in the betting, interest has piqued again. Patrick Kielty is in close pursuit but has a lot of ground to make in the race for the top job at Montrose.”
