Last night saw the eagerly awaited season return of The Late Late Show, and it came back with a bang!
The RTE chat show, the longest running of it’s kind in the world, is always a hit among viewers, and last night’s stellar line up was so different.
From a touching tribute to the Coast guard volunteers, to fun and chats with Love Island contestants Maura, Greg and Curtis, and comedian Aisling Bea joining the likes of Keith Barry and Lewis Capaldi – Ryan had something for everyone!
But there was one moment in particular that had everyone talking!
Legendary Irish singer Sinead O’Connor took to the stage to perform her iconic hit Nothing Compares 2U, and viewers were enthralled by the haunting rendition.
Iconic.

Heart is full at the health and happiness Sinéad O’Connor seems to have found. So excited for her Vicar St gig. One of those people you’re just grateful to be alive alongside. #latelate — Joan (@johnnersk) September 6, 2019

The show also saw some big news revealed, as Love Island winner Greg was announced as Doireann Garrihy’s newest co-host on RTE 2FM Breakfast Radio – as well as addressing his relationship status with Amber Gill!
What did you think of the first show of the new season!?
