Saturday nights in never looked so good…

In a ‘TV Lotto Exclusive’ the The Irish Sun brought some good news this morning for Marty Morrissey fans, the Clare man will be sending female hearts spinning for an extra hour on television thanks to a move by RTÉ to spruce up Winning Streak.

The 57-year-old GAA presenter is set to replace Marty Whelan in a move to engage a younger audience.

An RTÉ source told The Sun: “Winning Streak celebrate 25 years on air next year but it needs to lose the blue rinse brigade and connect with a younger audience.”

Adding:”Kids go to Halloween parties with orange faces dressed up as Marty. Young people love him.”
