Doireann Garrihy installed as favourite to become Rose of Tralee co-host

Ladbrokes has installed Doireann Garrihy as the frontrunner to become the co-host of the Rose of Tralee.

Following recent rumours of a ‘shake up’ to the iconic summer festival’s format, RTE favourite Doireann Garrihy is the 4/1 top pick to join Daithi O’Sé on stage this summer.

Kathryn Thomas is next in line at 5/1, followed by Sinead Kennedy who rounds off the top three at 6/1.

Elsewhere, Jennifer Zamparelli and Una Healy are also in the mix to co-host the show from the Tralee Dome, with the pair tied at 8/1.

Love Island winner Greg O’Shea, the current host of Virgin Media’s ‘Six O’Clock Show’ is the rank outsider as things stand at 16/1.

Nicola McGeady of Ladbrokes said: "As rumours continue to swirl about a ‘Rose of Tralee’ shakeup, we have opened the betting on who could potentially join Daithi O’Sé on stage this summer. As things stand, Doireann Garrihy is the top pick for the job, but with the likes of Kathryn Thomas, Sinead Kennedy and Una Healy also in the mix, it certainly won’t be an easy choice for RTE!"
