Ryan Tubridy’s cousin David McSavage has defended the presenter amid his ongoing pay controversy and believes the RTE star shouldn't have to pay back any money to the station.
The comedian reacted to the former Late Late Show host being paid €345,000 more over a five-year period than was previously declared, causing outrage among license fee payers and staff at RTE.
But the Savage Eye star – who is Tubridy’s first cousin – backed the presenter to return to his radio job despite the furore, even though bookies Boylesports are offering odds of 1/10 that he will quit the station.
