He was carrying a nice brown leather brief case of some sort so may well have been off to an interview at the time.

The Celebrity Spotting Thread Part Four. Flatty needs more help

Who - former RTÉ radio and TV host Ryan Tubridy Where - corner of Leeson St and St Stephens Green When - yesterday at 12:45 Wearing - sport coat, shirt, jeans - a more fitted version of the Jeremy Clarkson style of clothing men of a certain age adopted and won’t let go of Carrying - a brown leather briefcase in the modern style with loop handles. That was what caught my eye first and I like a nice bag. Other notes - nobody really paid much attention to him and the streets were full of pare…

It’s a really lovely bag.

It’s the equivalent of ending up on 98FM or something.

It’s like a lad leaving Shamrock Rovers to play for a proper professional team in the EPL.

Best of luck to him.

Looks like he is taking over the Eddy Temple Morris slot on mid morning radio.

A very expensive bag when first bought.

Not exactly brand new though - i had a close look and i got the feeling it had served him well for some time.

@peddlerscross

one of the air hostesses went up to him and bowed down at his feet saying. ‘we miss you’.

While not knowing the age of said cabin crew member I cannot get over the hold he has on women of a certain age. My sister in law, a happily married woman who has grown up children, has said on numerous occasions that he is her ideal man…

It seems that on one level he’s landed on his feet there, that’s a stellar lineup of presenters he’s joining,
Despite his protestations to the contrary which will no doubt come up I feel that he’d rather have stayed at home, but good luck to him I say

The lovely Jayne Middlemiss on after him.

Former RTÉ presenter Ryan Tubridy has announced a move to Virgin Radio UK in London.

He will helm the mid-morning show on Virgin Radio from 10am to 1pm Monday to Friday from early January.

As part of the deal, Mr Tubridy will also be broadcasting live from London simultaneously on Dublin’s Q102.

On weekends, he will present a dedicated Irish weekend show across Wireless Ireland stations on Dublin’s Q102, Cork’s 96FM, Live 95 in Limerick and LMFM.

Wireless Ireland and Virgin Radio UK are part of the News UK stable, which is owned by News Corp.

Other Virgin Radio broadcasters with shows alongside Mr Tubridy’s include Chris Evans, Graham Norton and Leigh Francis.

The former Late Late Show host has been sharing trips to London on his Instagram account in recent months.

In a statement, he said: "I couldn’t be more excited to start this new chapter with Virgin Radio.

“New city, new station, new beginnings. I love radio and what a joy to be following the legendary Chris Evans every morning. It’s been a pleasure getting to know my new friends at Virgin Radio, all of whom have been warm, engaging and very entertaining.”

Mr Tubridy left RTÉ earlier this year after controversy surrounding undisclosed payments to the broadcaster.

A diddy station apparently

Boobies?

You can get Virgin Radio through the Times Radio app. If you’re desperate.

Tis grand, its gonna be broadcast here on Dublin Q102

[peddlerscross]

I would have put mid to late 40’s on this Air Hostess so I’m guessing in the same age category as your sister in law.

I understand the show being broadcast in Ireland was a prerequisite for Tubridy signing the deal. He wanted to ensure he would be able to get his important message across to the nation’s children about reading books. It’s been a worrying six months where there has been no advocate for childhood reading on our screens & across our airwaves.

[myboyblue]

He’ll enjoy taking cuts off RTÉ from beyont the water. They’ll employ someone in Montrose to listen to it each day.

You’d hope he doesn’t get starstruck being on the same daily roster as Sean Goldsmith, Steve Denyer, Ricky Wilson and BAM.

He’s moving to Islington.

[Fat_Pox]

From the Late Late Show to a mid morning weekend slot on Live 95Fm.

Hopefully he will be able to give public service announcements like the under 16 camogie final has been moved from Bruff to Bruree or he can warn people about bullocks on the road at the Dromkeen side of Pallas on the main Tipperary rd.

[backinatracksuit]

Ya, you tell yourself that

[glenshane]

I wonder if he’ll fulfill his Renault obligations…or were they just a bit of an oul fraud

[backinatracksuit]

The meltdown has started anyway, this’ll be a laugh
