Ryan Tubridy has spoken of his disgust at the behaviour of a couple of cyclists he encountered while out for a walk this week.
Speaking on his RTE Radio One show Ryan told of how he was left 'nauseated' when he saw two separate people on bikes spitting and clearing their noses amid the coronavirus crisis.
The Late Late Show host opened his radio programme saying: "I'm sad to say that on my two-kilometre walk yesterday two cyclists, not together totally different times, one did the nose clear out where you push your nostril on one side and blow out the other.
"The other then did an old fashioned spit and I just thought, 'What, lads come on'."
Ryan said that he didn't want to get angry over the incident but said he was 'shocked' by what he saw.
He added: "And this isn't an anti-cyclist thing to be honest with you I couldn't give a monkey whether they were on a bike or on a hovercraft you just can't do that."
"And I just found myself quite nauseated and I got a little bit angry actually.
"I don't want to be angry, I don't like being angry but I was. I was annoyed for everyone that people are still doing that.
"But I was just shocked that people are still doing it."
Ryan made his return to the Late Late Show last week following his recovery from the deadly bug.
Viewers were blown away by his 'emotional’ speech dubbing him a "living legend."
During his opening speech Tubs paid tribute to all of the frontline workers and thanked them for looking after them when he was unwell before reflecting on the pride he felt for the nation while he was isolating.
He said: “It has been a very humbling experience, for so many reasons.
“I got to see first hand the professionalism of our ambulance services and of our contact tracing workers and national laboratory staff and I want to thank them publicly tonight from the bottom of my heart for their service, because they’re a remarkable group of people”
“They have families who wait for them at night and are worried about them - and I think about them and I thank them too.”
He added: "While I was off, I had time to appreciate how people in Ireland are tackling this crisis.
"I’m going to tell you, and all of you, because you should hear that the sacrifices and the self-discipline up to this point made by all of you have been phenomenal.
"We are going to have some party when this thing is over — All of us together. I promise you that.”
