It comes after the Kerry man, 49, announced he is considering going for the “top job in the country” in a few years.

And Lucy, 49, reckons RTE star Daithi is the man for the job, while admitting she'd even be his campaign manager.

She told us: "This has made my year. I would be Daithi’s campaign manager. I love that man. He's attractive, he's good craic. He could run the country.

"It's [the news he will run] literally made my year.

"He has a good business acumen. He's got a good head on his shoulders and he's a very successful person, but that is because he has got a good head on his shoulders, even though he laughs and jokes it off, but I wouldn't be surprised if he had his eye on it.

"I'd love to see Miriam [O'Callaghan]. She is someone I really look up to.

"As a broadcaster, as a mother and as a person. I just love everything about her, and she is so beautiful.

"I would love her to represent our country.

"She would be brilliant. I'll put her first and then Daithi O Se."
