Ex-RTE star Ryan Tubridy looks happier than ever as he finally returns on air

EX-RTE star Ryan Tubridy looked happier than ever after he returned to his Radio Show.

The Dublin native decided to take a short break from his Virgin Radio UK show with Vogue Williams and Angela Scanlon filling in for him while he was away.

Marking his return to the show, Virgin Radio took to Instagram to share a video of Ryan.

The 51-year-old looked happier than ever as he sat at “the top of the tower” telling fans about his new favourite read.

However, before going on air, he noticed that he had accidentally matched his outfit with the current book he’s reading.

The former Late Late Show host donned a checkered shirt that he tucked into a pair of green pants.

To tie his look together the radio host wore a pair of bright orange socks with some wine coloured brogues.

In the video, Ryan said: “Not the first time I find myself reading a book. This is a cracking read, I’m not going to get into the details now because that’s for another day.

“It’s called, James by Percival Everett and I’ll explain all in due course, but once again I notice what’s happening… co-ordinated sock and book cover.

He added: “I mean complete coincidence, but here we are.”

While enjoying his time off, Ryan came back to his native Ireland and showed off some of the breathtaking views along his trip.

He jetted back over to Ireland to soak up the unexpected sun in the west coast.

The 51-year-old shared snippets of his well deserved trip over on Instagram.

Ryan visited Kylemore Abbey & Victorian Walled Garden, which he called the “most beautiful part of Connemara”.

Ryan took in the breathtaking views of the magnificent 1,000-acre estate.

He took a video of himself showing off the castle situated beside Duchruach Mountain, in front of Pollacappul Lake and said: “The greatest Harry Potter location never used!”

“PURE PEACE”

The dad-of-two explained how perfect the location would have been for the iconic film series saying: “Tell me how they didn’t make Harry Potter here?

“I want everyone to explain, how did they not come here and make seven films? If there’s a new Harry Potter series, which I think there is an episode version of it, please take note. It’s beautiful.”

Ryan also hiked to Maam Valley and soaked up the sun while sitting on the grass wearing a white t-shirt and sunglasses.

The radio star looked happier than ever as he said: “To think I was considering taking a little holiday to maybe Italy or France and then I said, ‘What the hell, why would you do such a thing when your own neighbourhood looks like this?’.

“The rain is falling a lot in the country but in this little part of the world… no. Pure peace.”
