Ryan Tubridy has confirmed he has tested positive for Covid19.
The popular radio and TV host has been off the grid since last Wednesday when Oliver Callan first revealed he was isolating due to a “persistent cough”.
Miriam O'Callaghan stepped in on Friday to host The Late Late Show in Ryan's place and could be asked to do so again this week.
Ryan Tubridy statement
Breaking the news, Ryan Tubridy said; “Like so many other people in Ireland, I tested positive.
“But I was in the very fortunate position to have a very unintrusive experience, which I now have come to the end of.
“While I’ve been at home watching television and listening to the radio, I have been bowled over by the extraordinary work of our front line heroes and their families who continue to make Ireland a healthier and safer place.
“I look forward to being back to work really soon.”
RTE told Irish Daily Mirror Ryan is doing well at home and hopes to be back at work soon.
Who will host The Late Late Show and his radio show?
Oliver Callan will continue to host The Ryan Tubridy Show on RTÉ Radio 1 while plans for this Friday’s Late Late Show will be issued in the coming days.
