Can jogger Tubs handle the PACe?

 Ex-Late host faces grilling  | Broadcaster for UK move?

- PAT FLANAGAN

RYAN Tubridy looked cool and calm as he went jogging yesterday just days ahead of a grilling by TDs on the powerful Public Accounts Committee (PAC).

His run in the sun was a world away from the turmoil that has convulsed RTE since the disclosure he received hundreds of thousands of Euro in secret top-up payments.

Wearing sunglasses, black shorts and a T-shirt, the former Late Late host didn't seem to have a care in the world as he returned to his plush South Dublin residence.

While he and a female pal didn't venture too far from his home yesterday, it has been reported that he could soon be off to London for money-spinning talks with broadcasters about future work in the UK.

While his future with RTE is unclear, it is understood that he is set to meet with British TV and radio executives later this month.

But before that he and his agent Noel Kelly will face a grilling by the PAC who will want to know why HE took a pay cut but also received payments of €360,000 from the now infamous barter account.
