Ryan Tubridy has revealed that his beloved mum will not be able to attend his final episode of The Late Late Show because she's been hospitalised following a fall.
It's just two weeks until Ryan's last episode hosting the iconic talk show after 14 years as host - but Tubs explained that his mum Catherine won't be in the audience for the live show on Friday 26 May. He told his RTE Radio 1 listeners on his show this morning that his mum in is hospital and that it look's like she will also miss his sister's birthday and his own 50th birthday celebrations on 28 May.
Ryan said: "She’s in great hands. She’s going to miss my little birthday gathering with my family, but that’s okay.

“We’ll bring the cake into her. No candles, but I want to wish her well if you’re listening in this morning mum, which I know you are. I love you very much and I hope you’re doing okay because you’re more important than all these things."
Ryan also thanked the "beautiful, wonderful people that are looking after her" and praised the hospital staff for their dedication. Ryan is usually very private about his family, but he also wished happy birthday to his daughter Ella who is celebrating a "milestone" birthday.
For his second last Late Late Show this Friday, Ryan is set to be joined by singer Noel Gallagher as his band High Flying Birds will release their new album 'Council Skies' in June and will perform at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham on August 23.
The Late Late Show is on RTE One and RTE Player every Friday at 9:35pm.
