The former host of RTÉ’s The Late Late Show made a surprise appearance in a Kildare pub over the weekend.
Ryan Tubridy paid a visit to The Market House on Emily Square in Athy, Co Kildare who shared pictures and videos of his visit on social media.
In one video, Tubridy can be seen behind the bar in the popular pub pulling a pint of Guinness.
It’s understood Tubridy was in Athy for the opening of the Shackleton Autumn School.
“A familiar face behind the bar this evening,” said The Market House in a post on Instagram. “Great to welcome Ryan Tubridy in for a pint.”

Born in Leeds, Kambamettu moved to Ireland in 1992 to Athy, in her Irish mum Breda’s home county of Kildare.
She was educated at Scoil Mhuire, Athy and University College Galway, before going on to do a master’s degree in psychology at King’s College, London.
