Joe hosted his final show on Friday ahead of his retirement after 37 years working at RTE.

Bosses are on the hunt for the next host of the iconic phone-in show and Brenda has revealed she will tell RTE she wants to put her name in the hat to be the next host of Liveline.

She told us: "Am I going to put an expression of interest in like half the country is for the job? Yes, I will.

"I talk to people. I like people. They are the things that are going for me. I spent all my life talking to people.

"Hearing their ups and downs. I love all that. But it is a hard show. It is really tough. You've a great team, they work so hard."
