This week has been pretty miserable. And we think it’s safe to say that we can start lighting our fires now.
And what better way to spend a cold September Friday than curled up in front of the fire in a blanket watching The Late Late Show?
So who will be joining Patrick on the couch tonight?
Well first up, making her Late Late Show debut, European champion sprinter Rhasidat Adeleke will be in studio for her first interview in Ireland since the Paris Olympics.
Rhasidat joins Patrick this Friday night to talk about her record-breaking season, the Diamond League, coming home to Ireland, and her recent encounter with one of her biggest fans – Rihanna!
Elsewhere in the show, The Script’s Danny O’Donoghue and Glen Power sit down with Patrick to share memories of their bandmate Mark Sheehan.
They will open up about family, getting sober, flying high with PINK as well as playing live acoustic performances from their back catalogue.
We’ll have plenty of laughs as Gaeilgeoir, podcaster and presenter Hector Ó hEochagáin is in studio to talk about the Irish words and phrases we should know and use and what he’s been doing now that he’s no longer making his weekly trip to the Hen House.
Patrick will also be taking a look at the ongoing conflict in Palestine.
In a week that has seen war spread to Lebanon, where the civilian death toll continues to rise amid fears of a major escalation, Irish humanitarian John Whyte will be in studio to give a picture of his life working with UNRWA in the epicentre of the conflict in Gaza, before he returns there next week.
Worry not, they will end on a high as Patrick will be going live to a secret location where country music fans will have a chance to get their hands on the last pair of tickets to be in the audience for The Late Late Country Music Special, happening on Friday 4th October!
So dust off your cowboy boots!
The Late Late Show airs this Friday at 9.35pm on RTÉ One
