RTE star Ryan Tubridy - who is at the centre of an RTE payments scandal - has apologised for not questioning his salary over the last five years - as he confirms he is not quitting the station.
The radio and TV host said the ongoing controversy, which resulted in the star being paid €345,000 more than what was publicly declared to the Oireachtas over the last five years, did not contribute to him stepping down from The Late Late Show.
The 50-year-old said he was "disappointed" that RTE have made an editorial decision not to air his radio show next week.
