Ryan Tubridy hitched a lift on a helicopter to Mayo on Saturday from a generous pal who wanted to make sure he wasn’t late for climbing Croagh Patrick.
The Late Late Show host was among the thousands of supporters who turned out to take part in Climb With Charlie, organised by Charlie Bird, to raise funds for the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association and Pieta House.
We can now reveal Ryan hitched a lift in a pal’s helicopter to make sure he arrived before 9am. An insider told us: “Ryan wasn’t finished working in RTE after hosting the Late Late Show until 12.30pm. He was offered a lift in the helicopter on Saturday morning so he would get down to Mayo on time.”
