RTE broadcaster Ryan Tubridy shared a photo with his lookalike younger brother over the weekend.

The TV and radio star enjoyed a day out at the RDS on Saturday to watch Ireland take on Wales in the Women’s Six Nations.

Taking to Instagram, the Late Late Show presenter posted a picture alongside his brother Garrett, with the two bearing an uncanny resemblance.

Sharing a selfie with his sibling, Tubridy said: "He ain’t heavy (literally), he’s my brother.

“Watching Ireland lead Wales in the Women’s Six Nations under glorious sun at the RDS.”

In another post on his Instagram stories, he shared a picture alongside President Michael D Higgins who was also at the RDS to enjoy the rugby.

He said: “Half time chats with President Higgins”.

It comes after Tubridy presented another entertaining Late Late Show on Friday night.

During one segment, the broadcaster was close to tears over the hilarious impression of the Irish comedian by Conor Moore, also known as Conor's Sketches.

The impressionist held an uncanny resemblance to Tiernan, who is widely praised for his no holds barred Saturday night chat show.

Before he even said a word, the Late Late Show host said the similarity to Tiernan's expression was "uncanny".

"So, am I interviewing you or are you interviewing me?" Moore, as Tiernan, asked Tubridy.

"I just don't know. Jesus Christ Ryan it's f***ing confusing now, isn't it?

"You know there's two Tommys now, there's calm, philosophical Tommy and there's crazy Tommy.

"But I'd love to have you on the show sometime, ask you the real questions people want to know, like 'Why is your hair always so perfect?'

"And the real one, 'Are you really Dermot Bannon's twin brother?' I want to know so I'd love to have you on the show."
