RTE Late Late Show kicks off with Ryan Tubridy throwing hilarious dig at Tanaiste Leo Varadkar

This week's RTE Late Late Show kicked off with Ryan Tubridy throwing a hilarious dig at Tanaiste Leo Varadkar.

The Tanaiste revealed that he doesn't watch the show anymore as the pandemic is over.

The Fine Gael leader said earlier this week: "I will never forget watching Normal People during that first lockdown. And even nights in every Friday watching the Late Late Show which is something I never did before and don't have to do again."

Tubs decided to have some fun with the Fine Gael leader's bold revelation during the intro of tonight's show.

He said: "Welcome all the loyal viewers at home, I also want to acknowledge the shyer, quieter, secret Late Late watchers, you know who you are, ones who pretend they don't tune in but secretly they love it.

"You know who I mean, the Leo's, the Geminis, the Aries of this great nation, you're with friends it's ok, enjoy it we're good company, we're family."
