It’s going to be a busy Friday night on The Late Late Show couch.
With the IFTA awards taking place this week, Hollywood has jetted into Ireland. So it makes sense that some of those stars will be hanging around.
Fresh from their appearance at the IFTAs, Hollywood actors Dominic Cooper and Sarah Bolger will drop into The Late Late Show studio to chat about co-starring in the upcoming film The Lightkeeper.
They will talk about awards season, share stories from filming in Donegal and Mayo and reveal what audiences can expect from this film.
Ahead of the 100th episode, Dancing with the Stars judges Brian Redmond and Karen Byrne will look back at nine seasons of the hit entertainment show.
Karen reflects on being a two-time glitterball winner and finding love in the ballroom while Brian laughs off his “Mr Nasty” tagline and recalls his dancefloor highlights and unforgettable moments from over the years.
In a week where headlines are dominated by the arrest of the former Prince, Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor, on suspicion of misconduct in public office, Lisa Phillips, a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse, tells her story directly to Irish viewers.
In a pre-recorded interview, Lisa recounts how she was drawn into Epstein’s orbit, the powerful figures she encountered, and her ongoing mission to expose perpetrators and seek justice.
Irish mammies will take centre stage on the show.
Often found cheering on her children, Paul and Nell, from the sidelines, Dearbhla Mescal will take to the hot seat herself this week!
She’ll speak about what it’s been like to watch both her children rise to international fame, overcoming illness to make it to the Oscars and her ongoing mission to find joy in the everyday.
Serena Terry, also known as ‘Mammy Banter’, will chat to Patrick ahead of her upcoming tour across Ireland.

She’ll share how she first created ‘Mammy Banter’ during lockdown in 2020 which has since grown into a global community of over four million followers, two best-selling books, and two sell‑out tours. In her honest and relatable style, Serena will offer her hilarious take on what it means to be a Mammy in the modern world.
Music on the night comes from the West End, with cast members of The Ballad of Johnny & June performing live in studio.
