Ryan Tubridy posts cryptic video on social media teasing ‘a new beginning’

The mysterious clip comes amid reports the presenter has been contacted by a UK channel.

Ryan Tubridy has posted a cryptic video online in which he teases "a new beginning". Just last week, the Director-General of RTÉ Kevin Bakhurst confirmed that the presenter would not be coming back to his RTÉ Radio 1 show after the latter became embroiled in the broadcaster's secret payment scandal. While there had been talks between Bakhurst and Tubridy about a potential return to the airwaves for the host, the Director-General said that talks between the two broke down. Since then, many have wondered what will be next for the presenter, with The Irish Sun reporting that UK channel GB News has been in contact with Tubridy to discuss a role.

GB News editorial director Michael Booker told the publication: “Ryan Tubridy is a fantastic broadcaster. A people’s presenter with great wit and empathy." While he refused to give more details about GB News' contact with Tubridy, Booker said: "We keep a keen eye on broadcasters across the UK and Ireland.” Amidst all this, Tubridy has now taken to Instagram to post the mysterious message: "A new dawn, a new day, a new beginning. Stay tuned for more..." This message was accompanied by a clip of a scenic seaside and the song 'Don't Stop' by Fleetwood Mac. Read more:
