The presenter’s first Radio 2 show was warmly received by Twitter users… well, most of them.

YESTERDAY SAW LATE Late Show host Ryan Tubridy make his long-awaited debut on BBC radio, standing in for Graham Norton during the summer.

The three-hour show saw our Ryan interview Andrea Corr and Tony Blair’s former spin doctor Alastair Campbell, as well as playing some music. The 37-year-old had admitted to the Irish Independent beforehand: “It’s all very large and exciting but I feel like a nervous wreck. I can’t tell you how worried I am.”

But the show – which also saw Ryan educate listeners on the proper pronunciation of his surname – went off without a hitch, giving UK radio fans their first taste of Tubs. It was also broadcast in Ireland on RTÉ’s 2XM digital station.

So how did it go down over there and over here? This is what Twitter users had to say:
