Ryan Tubridy's new girlfriend Dr Clare Kambamettu has a strong connection to London having lived there for years
The former RTÉ presenter is set to leave Ireland to take up a role with Virgin Radio in the English capital in January 2024 and his new belle will be able to show him the ropes and give him some insider knowledge.
Dr Clare won the Rose of Tralee in 2010 as the London Rose so she is an expert on the global city.

Ryan said: "Yes, she's all over this. I don't need Chris Evans to show me around.
"Yeah, she's got this covered. She's wonderful."
Speculation was rife that Tubs was off the market after the pair were spotted out and about together numerous times during the summer. He confirmed the news over the weekend after they stepped out together for a glitzy event in London.
He told The Sunday Times: "Yes, we are together and it's been one of the more lovely beacons in a sea of doubt.
"If I can be a master of understatement here, I'll say that the last few months have been intense and I was lucky here and there and Clare was certainly one of those lucky moments."
Over the next six weeks, Ryan has to find himself somewhere to live in London and uproot his whole life before starting his new job in broadcasting, not to mention enjoying Christmas with his family. And he has lots of plans for work away from radio going forward.
He said: "We're already talking about television work and so many other opportunities that are going to be knocking on the door here and you know, they have said to me, that 20 years of live television experience is not usual, this is great and you're a gun for hire.
Absolutely I'm good to go. I won't be bored."
