RTE star Lottie Ryan has said she would love to land her own talk radio show like her dad - as she pays tribute to family friend Joe Duffy.

The Liveline host is set to retire from RTE on June 27 after 37 years working at the national broadcaster.

Paying tribute to Joe, Lottie said: "We've known Joe and June and their family for a long, long time.

"They're good family friends, and they are genuinely the nicest people you will ever come across. Joe is what you hear. He is genuinely that person that just wants to talk to and help everyone."
