The lineup for the first show back after summer break has been officially announced

THE LATE Late Show is back with a bang after the summer break, and Patrick Kielty is kicking off his third season in style!

Among the lineup for the first show of the season is Limerick rugby legend Conor Murray.

Also appearing on the popular show are Hollywood royalty Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell, Riverdance’s Michael Flatley, and former President of Ireland Mary Robinson.

Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell will be chatting about their upcoming film A Big Bold Beautiful Journey. 

“They will share stories from set and their experience of working together for the first time,” a spokesperson for The Late Late Show said.

After hanging up his boots, Irish rugby legend Conor Murray will chat to Patrick about his new autobiography Cloud Nine. 

A spokesperson for the show said the former Munster rugby player will “reflect on a decorated career in Irish rugby, share stories from the dressing room and discuss how he found the strength to continue playing in the days and weeks after a road collision left his father seriously injured”.

Former President of Ireland, Mary Robinson, will join Patrick to discuss “urgent global issues”, including the “deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza”. 

She will share insights from her recent visit to the Gazan border and speak about the role of international leadership in what the UN World Health Organisation has declared “a man-made famine”.

Following his decision not to pursue the Irish Presidency, Michael Flatley will join Patrick to reflect on his decision and the reasons behind it. 

He’ll also speak about his personal journey with cancer and his involvement with a new exhibition by Breakthrough Cancer Research.

Late Late Show viewers will also be treated to a special performance from Kodaline’s Steve Garrigan.

This and lots more tomorrow night on The Late Late Show.
