Patrick Kielty presented his third Late Late Show last night with a host of impressive guests-but some RTE fans were left baffled by the presenter's "jockey" outfit.
Last night's show saw Co Down native Kielty joined by UK union leader Mick Lynch, retired Irish jockey Nina Carberry, former boxer Carl Frampton and online fitness guru Joe Wicks. But many Late Late Show fans were quick to point out Kielty's distinctive jockey outfit.
He wore the outfit before bravely clambering onto a mechanical horse in studio while getting advice from retired jockey Nina Carberry to the delight of the audience.

Kielty joked: "I feel like I'm going to do what Joe does on his channel!" He then rode the mechanical horse for the impressive race simulator, giving viewers an idea of what horse racing is like.
The audience and guests alike cheered him on as he finished the course. Before the show started, the Late Late Show shared a pic of Kielty sitting on the mechanical horse in preparation for the show.
"Standard day in the office," they tweeted. Meanwhile, Late Late Show fans flocked to social media to comment on Kielty's unique outfit and his great enthusiasm.
One person joked: "Neigh! Equine time on prime time?!"
A second wrote: "What's the story with Patrick's jockey outfit? Maybe he's preparing for the Irish National lol."
A third added: "Paddy is doing a brilliant job loved the show tonight and his jockey outfit was class. What a legend."
A fourth said: "I absolutely love Patrick Kielty as host. He just has the best of both humor and genuine empathy with guests really, really enjoying watching him settle into the job."
