RETIRED RTE host Joe Duffy has landed himself a new job - more than a week after quitting Liveline.

The 69-year-old clearly likes to keep busy and has filmed a promotional video for retailer Lidl.

He can be seen prowling the aisles in a suit and a brown hat in the guise of a private detective.

As he enters the Lidl, Value Beyond Belief - Episode 1 appears, accompanied by a film noir jazz score.

Joe says: "I promised myself I was out. No more talk, no more questions. Just an average Joe.

"But questions - they don't take no for an answer."
