RTÉ broadcaster Ryan Tubridy has confirmed he has Covid-19.

In a statement, he said: "Like so many other people in Ireland, I tested positive but I was in the very fortunate position to have a very unintrusive experience, which I now have come to the end of.

"While I've been at home watching television and listening to the radio, I have been bowled over by the extraordinary work of our frontline heroes and their families who continue to make Ireland a healthier and safer place. I look forward to being back to work really soon."

RTÉ said Oliver Callan will continue to host The Ryan Tubridy Show on RTÉ Radio 1 and that plans for this Friday's Late Late Show will be issued in the coming days.
