RTE star Ryan Tubridy called 'derogatory' names by teens on the street

Ryan Tubridy has described teenagers who hurled insults at him as a few “bad apples” on his radio show.

The host is gearing up for one of the busiest nights in his work schedule as the Late Late Toy Show airs this weekend. However, he said that an unsettling experience in recent days gave him food for thought on the Irish youth.

The 49-year-old did not reveal the exact nature of what was said, but described the encounter as “nasty” and said that the group filmed him on their mobile phones while dishing out verbal abuse. He added that the experience left him disappointed, as he normally has a positive outlook on young people in Ireland.
