Ryan Tubridy almost walked into another 'age gate' moment after guest question on Late Late

RTE Late Late host Ryan Tubridy was almost left red-faced again over an age-related question on Friday night's show, RSVP reports.

The show presenter was called out for asking guests about their age on the last season of the long running chat show, in particular Derry Girls star Jamie-Lee O'Donnell.

However, this time one of the guests was asking Ryan a question - to guess his age and things got very awkward.

Ryan was instantly taken aback by the request to guess his age from rugby ace and Dancing with the Stars finalist Jordan Conroy and he was quick to navigate the question like a true pro.

Jordan was on the couch with his rugby 7's teammates after they finished third at the World Cup in South Africa last week.

Ryan told him: "Don't ask that of anyone, I learned that the hard way."

However, Jordan pressed him to guess.

Ryan said: "I would say 25."

Jordan replied: "I will take that because I am 28. I know, there we go. I don't have a skin routine either."

Billy Dardis opened up about their celebrations after the beat the host country as well as England, Australia and Portugal after they finished third in the world.

He said: "It was tame enough. Like all good Irish teams, we went straight into the dressing room and sat around and had a few beers and bit of a song and a dance. Then we headed out to a night club and met up with our families. It was good fun."

Jordan added: "It was really nice to have our family there, it brought it all together. It was enjoyable to have to them on the tour. It was nice to celebrate with my mam.

"I had Grainne Seoige there with her husband as well. We all had a bit of a gang, they are the best gang ever."

The Late Late Show social media account also noticed the line of conversation during the segment.

They joked about Ryan sweating as carefully responded to the guests live on the show.

Last year, Ryan was called out by Derry Girls actress Jamie Lee O'Donnell for asking about her age. In another interview with Kay Burley he explained that he has changed his approach to the “age question”.

He said : “Oh no, I don’t comment on age anymore”, before adding, “Probably a wise thing”.
