Magical line-up for this week's (Dec 16) Late Late Show revealed

This week's Late Late Show line-up has been revealed, with a world-renowned tenor and beloved Irish musicians among the guests joining host Ryan Tubridy on the sofa. 

Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli and his children Matteo and Virginia join Ryan to chat about meeting the queen, family life, how faith plays an important part of their lives, the magic of Christmas, and their multigenerational talent. 

They will sing two songs from their festive album 'A Family Christmas'. 

Imelda May and Glen Hansard will talk about the famous busk on Grafton Street for the Simon Community, and how they are bringing a flavour of it to a wider audience on 'Christmas in Ireland with Imelda May and Friends' on Sky Arts. 

Glen will share about his experience of fatherhood and how it has changed him, while Imelda will chat about acting, touring and coming home for Christmas. 

The duo will join forces to perform two special duets, including their take on the classic Fairytale of New York.

In another festive treat, Glen will also reunite with Markéta Irglová as they both perform their Academy Award winning song 'Falling Slowly' 15 years after its release. 

Tik Tok sensation and new Blue Peter presenter Joel M will join Ryan and the audience for a madcap mixture of magic and illusion, and comedian, writer and actor Seán Burke will bring viewers a very special Late Late Show Christmas Carol. 

The show airs Friday December 16 at 9.35pm.
