Patrick Kielty's TV future confirmed after Cat Deeley split as bosses issue statement
Patrick Kielty's RTE bosses have confirmed the star's future on the channel after his surprise split from wife of 13 years, Cat Deeley. Patrick Kielty's television career remains on track despite his recent split from Cat Deeley, with Irish broadcaster RTE providing an update after the couple's unexpected announcement. RTE has confirmed that despite personal difficulties, Patrick will be back at the helm of The Late Late Show when it returns in September. It comes following the surprising news that Patrick and his wife Cat Deeley are separating after 13 years married. The pair, who live in London with their two young sons, James, eight, and Milo, five, have been based there while Patrick travelled back and forth to RTE for his presenting commitments. An RTE spokesperson has confirmed the comedian's continued involvement with the show, saying: "RTÉ looks forward to Patrick returning to the Late Late Show in September." According to the Mirror, Patrick had previously revealed a three-season agreement with the national broadcaster. The dad of two has also made it clear that he will personally handle all travel and accommodation costs related to his work on the programme. Patrick, who is set to receive €250,000 per season, further noted that he would get €20,000 for pre-show work and rehearsals. Prior to taking over as host of the Late Late Show, he expressed: "I'm pleased to finally be able to share that I've signed a three-season deal to host The Late Late Show beginning this September. "I'm being paid €250,000 per 30-show season. If additional shows are requested by RTÉ, they'll be paid on a pro-rata basis. "I'm also receiving a one-off payment of €20,000 to cover the pre-production and rehearsals from now to September. The contract allows me to submit flight and accommodation expenses, but I've waived this. "I've made it clear to RTE that I will be covering my own flights and accommodation costs. I've also asked RTÉ to carbon offset my flights. I genuinely hope this helps clarify things going forward. I can't wait to get started." The update on Patrick's career moves comes following his separation from Cat, with the couple issuing a joint statement. It said: "We have taken the decision to end our marriage and are now separated. There is no other party involved." They emphasised their commitment to their children and requested privacy, noting, "We will continue to be united as loving parents to our children and would therefore kindly ask for our family privacy to be respected. There will be no further comment." Details regarding when the split occurred remain unclear, though the couple had been living apart due to work commitments. Patrick was tied up with a significant contract in Ireland, while Cat was needed in London for her role on This Morning. Cat last mentioned Patrick on her Instagram in October 2023, following their final public appearance together the previous month.

Billie Eilish faces backlash for telling audience 'everybody looks like me'
Billie Eilish comments to the crowd at her concert in Ireland on July 26 have sparked controversy. The popstar recently wrapped up the UK and European leg of her giant Hit Me Hard And Soft Tour, where she played at Dublin's 3Arena for the final two shows. Between songs, the Happier Than Ever singer said to the crowd: 'Obviously, I am not from here, but it's really cool to come somewhere and everybody looks exactly like you, and you're all just as pasty as me.' She continued: 'I love it. It just makes me feel so seen. Also, a thousand of my relatives are in the crowd right now, I'm pretty sure.' The crowd roared their approval, and Eilish ended the sentiment by saying, 'I love it here – it's so beautiful and you are all so beautiful and I see so many familiar faces out there.' For many Irish fans, the moment felt like a tender nod to shared roots as Eilish has previously spoken about her Irish and Scottish ancestry. But online, her words sparked a flurry of criticism, with some social media users accusing her of insensitivity or 'casual racism,' arguing that 'everybody looks like me' is a dangerous generalization, even if said with affection. Supporters quickly defended her, with one X user, @sabwarrioranu, writing: 'She's made jokes about being pale before btw. She was just trying to express how nice it feels to be around where your family comes from that's all so give her a break. I swear Billie gets dragged for the dumbest stuff.' @bittersuite agreed: 'Spinning this into anything other than someone openly of irish descent complimenting & connecting with the fans of the same descent is strange for you to do. i can never count on men for critical thinking though i guess.' Billie Eilish celebrates return to Irish homeland. "It's really cool to come somewhere and everyone looks exactly like you". — Gearóid Murphy (@gearoidmurphy_) July 28, 2025 While the Dublin shows marked the end of her European dates, earlier performances in Manchester had fans buzzing for a different reason. On July 19, during one of four nights at Co-op Live Arena, Eilish revealed she was working on a secretive project with none other than Avatar and Titanic director James Cameron. Noting the unusual number of cameras positioned around the arena, she teased the crowd, saying, 'You may have noticed there's more cameras than usual up here. I can't say much, but I am working on something really, really special with James Cameron. And it's going to be in 3D.' Cameron, famous for revolutionizing film with technological innovation, was reportedly seen at one of the Manchester shows, adding fuel to the speculation. Eilish hinted she had worn the same outfit for all four nights to maintain continuity for the camera crew – a sign that the footage is being compiled into a larger narrative project. More Trending All this comes on the back of Hit Me Hard and Soft, released in May 2025 to critical acclaim and commercial success. The album debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, with over 339,000 units in its first week, and songs like Lunch, Chihiro, and Birds of a Feather have already become iconic. The Dublin shows were the final stop in Europe; she heads to Japan in August, then North America in the fall, with the tour wrapping up in November. Got a story?
