Ryan Tubridy has said he thinks Claire Byrne "did the right thing" by ruling herself out of the running to be the next Late Late Show host - as he warns of the scrutiny of the high-profile role.
Sarah McInerney has now also ruled herself out of the race to replace Ryan after Claire confirmed yesterday on social media that she was no longer in the running.
Their statements have put an end to weeks of speculation that either female presenter will take over from Ryan when he departs at the end of this month.
