Patrick Kielty made an emotional comeback to RT\u00c9’s The Late Late Show on Friday evening, expressing heartfelt gratitude to audiences for their kindness following his marital separation from Cat Deeley.<\/p>\n

The 54-year-old Northern Irish host appeared visibly moved during his opening monologue, marking his first television appearance since the couple revealed their decision to divorce in July.<\/p>\n

Fighting back tears, Kielty acknowledged the overwhelming support he had received throughout the summer months.<\/p>\n

The presenter’s return to the iconic Irish chat programme came after a three-month hiatus, during which he and Deeley, 48, publicly confirmed the end of their 13-year marriage.<\/p>\n

“Honestly, it is so nice to be back with you, especially after this summer where I have genuinely been blown away by all of the love and support that you guys have sent my way,” Kielty told the studio audience.<\/p>\n

The presenter emphasised the unique connection between host and viewers, stating: “One of the greatest joys of hosting this show is that you’re never alone.”<\/p>\n

His voice wavered as he thanked supporters in Irish, saying “go raibh m\u00edle maith agat” to those who had shown compassion towards his family.<\/p>\n

“It’s one of the many reasons why walking out here is always a privilege, why being back here tonight truly puts flesh on my bones,” he added, before welcoming viewers to the programme.<\/p>\n
