Patrick Kielty <\/p>\n

The Late Late Show<\/a> season has come to an end, and so has Patrick Kielty’s <\/a>contract.<\/p>\n

The three-year contract, which paid Patrick \u20ac250,000 a year, has expired, and it\u2019s unclear whether he will return for the next season.<\/p>\n

So, who may be the next presenter to take on the show, you might ask?<\/p>\n

According to the bookies Ladbrokes<\/a>, the comedian, writer and RT\u00c9 <\/a>Radio One presenter, Oliver Callan, is the new favourite to take on the hosting position (Evens).<\/p>\n

Next in line is the dynamic Gavan Reilly, Political Correspondent for Virgin Media News (3\/1).<\/p>\n

However, there is also hope that it may be a female presenter.<\/p>\n

2FM Radio presenter Doireann Garrihy is among the favourites for the famous chat show at (5\/1).<\/p>\n

Miriam O\u2019Callaghan is also speculated to possibly switch radio and prime time for the Friday night entertainment show (7\/1).<\/p>\n

Presenter of the new Celebrity Super Spaces, Dermot Bannon, is still at 8\/1, level with Liveline host Kieran Cuddihy.<\/p>\n

TV and radio presenter Kathryn Thomas has also been name checked in the gossip mill as a popular pick (10\/1).<\/p>\n
