RYAN Tubridy admits he was a “shambles” when he turned 40 and revealed he is already preparing for his 50th so he embraces it better.
The RTE star, 48, made the admission while speaking to Irish singer Annmarie Cullen on his RTE Radio 1 show yesterday morning.
In a conversation about the stigma of asking somebody their age, he said: “I thought asking someone’s age was considered once upon a time forbidden.
“And it would appear that it is still quite a question not to be asking. I think some people are quite prickly, and I say that for male and females, about giving away their age.”
However, having no problem talking about his own, the Late Late Show host admitted he did have a hiccup when he turned 40.
He said: “I had a shambles about turning 40, but as I am 48 now and heading towards 50 I am fully intent on embracing it in a much more organised way.”
Ryan and his radio team marked his 40th at the time with a special party in a Dublin bar alongside 300 of his listeners, who were also reaching the milestone age.
