With Patrick Kielty now known to be the presenter taking over from Ryan Tubridy on RTE’s Late Late Show, we’ve taken a look back at his career.
From Comic Relief to Love Island, Patrick has made us chuckle plenty of times on TV – and we hope that continues when he takes up the Friday night show in September!
Patrick has interviewed big stars such as Jamie Oliver, Westlife and Rory McIlroy over the years and even impressed King Charles back in 2006 and Queen Camilla in 2010.
We have high hopes for Mr. Kielty and have no doubt that he’ll knock it out of the park when the time comes.
