This week's episode of The Late Late Show promises a packed lineup of guests ahead of the St. Patrick's weekend festivities.
Late Late host Patrick Kielty is getting the gang back together again, as the 1990 Republic of Ireland squad will reunite on The Late Late Show on Friday night to relive one of Ireland’s greatest sporting years, the year that was Italia 90.
The reunion marks 35 years since Ireland first qualified for the World Cup and Patrick will welcome Mick McCarthy, Niall Quinn, Packie Bonner, Ronnie Whelan, Ray Houghton, John Aldridge, Kevin Sheedy, David O'Leary, Andy Townsend, Chris Hughton, Chris Morris, Steve Staunton, Kevin Moran, Bernie Slaven, John Sheridan, Frank Stapleton and David Kelly to studio.
Riverdance will be taking over The Late Late Show studio on Friday night as the cast showcase the global phenomenon which began as the interval act during the Eurovision Song Contest in 1994.
Grammy Award-winner and Cork singer-songwriter Cian Ducrot will be on the show to perform his new song 'Little Dreaming'. Fresh from singing the National Anthems at last week's Six Nations, Cian, who has just announced his first headline show at the 3Arena for later this year, will also sit down with Patrick for a chat.
Nerves are building and the tension is rising as the winner of this year’s Dancing with the Stars is just days away from taking home the coveted glitterball.
Joining Patrick on the show are the anticipatory finalists Jack Woolley, Rhys McClenaghan, Kayleigh Trappe and Danny O’Carroll along with their pro-partners Alexandra Vladimirov, Laura Nolan, Ervinas Merfeldas and Salome Chachua. They’ll be chatting about their time spent on and off the dancefloor, the friendships they’ve made and more.
Friday night's show also promises a ‘Rollercoaster’ of a performance as B*Witched make their return to The Late Late Show and chart toppers Keavy, Edele, Sinead and Lindsay will be performing an ultimate fan favourite.
And that’s not all, to top it all off, Irish rugby fans in Rome will have the chance to win a pair of tickets to the Italy v Ireland match this Saturday, March 15, 2025.
