SUPERMARKET SAVE RTE’s Ryan Tubridy reveals he saved baby who was ‘hurtling’ down shopping centre travelator in buggy
Claire Healy

RTE's Ryan Tubridy has told how he saved a baby who was "hurtling" down a broken travelator in a buggy yesterday.

The Late Late Show host revealed a strap on the buggy snapped, sending the baby flying down the ramp - before he stopped the pram in its tracks at the bottom.

The 46-year-old said he didn't want to big up his role in the rescue - but said a passer-by commented he was the "right man in the right place" after he caught the buggy.

Tubs said the shopping centre he shops at has been having work done "for ages" and the incident happened on a flat escalator that's not working at the moment.

Speaking on his RTE Radio One show, he revealed: "The shopping centre I go to is a war-zone, it's a building site and it's been going on for ages.

"That's fine, I love the place, loads of Irish shops.

"So one of the escalators that doesn't have steps - you know the flat ones, that's not working now - but you can still go down it, it's covered in a mat and you can still go down it if you want, and there's someone standing at the top for safety and security."
'SLOW MOTION'
Tubridy - who returns for another season of the Late Late Show this Friday - said it all happened in "slow motion".

He said: "So I was at the bottom of it, looking up towards the top and this all happened in slow motion.

"At the very top, there was a mum with a buggy, with a child of about 18 months in the buggy, eating what looked like a cinnamon swirl.

"Child happy, mother hassled, box under the arm, holding the buggy, but there was a strap she was holding the buggy by.

"Then, split second, the strap snapped open. The buggy was released, I look up and all I see hurtling down the escalator is runaway baby with cinnamon swirl snapped in half."

BUGGY DRAMA
Tubs said the baby seemed "oblivious" as the buggy kept coming down the escalator.

He added: "I crouched, put my arms out and stopped the buggy in its tracks."

And he said he was just glad that the mum and baby were both okay.

He said: "I did look over my shoulder and if no one had been there, the baby would have been in a bit of pain, there would have been a bruise, a burst lip, something.

"So it just happened that it worked out in the end. The mother had done nothing wrong, it was just something faulty with the strap holding onto the pram.

"The guy at the top, the health and safety guy, he had done everything right 'are you okay, do you want a hand', 'no I'm fine'.

"It just was one of those things and thankfully everything was okay."

Never mind the baby. Was the cinnamon swirl okay?

I turned off shortly after the Goofy music. Was it a mystery teacher or a history teacher?

The guest gave a ‘Dead Poets Society’ -esque quote from one of her old teachers, which made Ryan instantly turn his y-fronts white.

He then started quizzing/pressuring her about the teacher’s name (she couldn’t remember) and asked listeners to help him out.

WTF?

Couldn't get any more Irish than that.

Christ I just remembered, it's nearly ploughing championship time of year, isn't it?

Rte will be creaming themselves at the prospect of that, full on coverage like it's the Irish world cup.

Because that's how I see her. Why would she cry ?. She knew in advance what she'd be talking about,so should be prepared for it.

That explains it.

Apologies for the silly question.

He'll be going tieless. "Which we think is right"

I read recently that a new study showed that ties were a sign of patriarchy. Ryan must have read the same study.

The Irish Sun did a big interview with Tom Hanks. :pac::pac::pac:


They did in their hoop Bryan. They cut and paste it from somewhere else you muppet. Like The Irish Sun would get an interview with Tom Hanks FFS. They'd be doing well to get an interview with Mondo from Fair City.

I'm out, can't be dealing with this nonsense so early.

Nice soft interview so far.

I suppose if you loll about on Tubridy's salary, you see things differently. Heard some talk of pay cuts - is he lined up for that as well. Pay slashing though is what is needed.
