Brendan O'Connor odds on to present new Mock The Week-style panel show on RTÉ

Irish television personality Brendan O'Connor is the odds-on favourite to front a proposed RTÉ panel show in the style of Mock The Week.

The national broadcaster is aiming to produce a midweek panel show this autumn which will be a cross between BBC's old staple of Mock The Week and its current hit Would I Lie To You?Cork man O'Connor's The Saturday Night Show slot was eventually filled by Ray D'Arcy before O'Connor turned his attention to radio broadcasting, but it looks as though we might not have to wait long for his TV return.

The hilarious hosts trailing O'Connor in the list of favourites for the hot seat include stand-up queen Joanne McNally at 9/2, followed by seasoned comedian and veteran of the UK comedy circuit Aisling Bea at 7/1, with Irish comedy household name Jason Byrne rocking in at 8/1.
