Two-horse race for Late Late Show gig as Claire Byrne faces unexpected competition

A two-way race for the Late Late Show presenter gig has emerged, with favourite Claire Byrne up against an unexpected frontrunner.

Bookies had suspended bets on who will replace Ryan Tubridy in recent weeks after being overwhelmed with support for Claire Byrne but following speculation around comedian Patrick Kielty this week, they have reopened the book.

The RTE Radio One star remains the 1/2 favourite, but Kielty has made up serious ground with his odds dramatically tumbling from 50/1 into 2/1. Sarah McInerney is the next at 4/1, followed by Angela Scanlon at 9/1. 2FM Radio host Jennifer Zamparelli is also still in the mix at 12/1 as is Baz Ashmawy at 14/1.
