Ryan Tubridy has been hotly tipped by bookies to enter the race for the Aras, with the upcoming presidential election to take place in 2025.
Now it look's like a potential Presidential bid could be on the cards for the former Late Late Show host, who departed the show in May after 14 years in the role, reports The Irish Mirror. Last month, current President Michael D Higgins appeared as a guest on The Late Late Show for Tubridy's last ever show, and now Tub's chances of replacing Higgins in Áras an Uachtaráin in 2025 is now 8/1 from 66/1.
At the moment, Ryan Tubridy is the third favourite in early betting to be elected President in two years’ time, behind Mairead McGuinness (4/1) and Fergus Finlay (7/1), who both unsuccessfully sought nominations in the previous election in 2011. Lawrence Lyons, spokesperson for BoyleSports said: “It may be a radical career change, but Ryan Tubridy comes from political stock and some punters have been happy to swallow up massive odds he’ll throw his hat in the ring."
