Grand National winning trainer Mouse Morris, Vogue Williams, Louis Walsh, Emily Hourican and Shazia Mirza have joined Supervet Noel Fitzpatrick on the line-up for this week’s Late Late Show.
Mouse will be in studio alongside his son Jamie Morris to talk about a tough year for the family following the tragic death of son and brother, Tiffer Morris, who passed away due to carbon monoxide poisoning. We’ll hear about the mixed emotions the Morris family felt as Rule the World romped home to victory at last weekend’s Grand National and why they believe Tiffer was watching over them.
Supervet Noel Fitzpatrick will be joining host Ryan Tubridy in studio to chat about the pioneering surgeries that made him famous, from from giving prosthetic titanium paws to Oscar the Bionic Cat to the state-of-the-art keyhole surgery he uses daily to save animals at the UK’s most famous veterinary practice.
Noel, who hails from Ballyfin in Laois, is also going to have a crack at diagnosing the nation’s ailing pets, with videos and pictures being submitted by viewers on Twitter using #LateLateSupervet, the Late Late’s Facebook page and by email to latelateextra@rte.ie.
Journalist Emily Hourican has touched a collective nerve in the last few months as she bravely shared her cancer battle with readers of the Sunday Independent. She’ll be telling us why she chose to be so open about her battle with the disease in her Cancer Diary and how she is now.
British-Asian Muslim stand-up comedian Shazia Mirza will join Ryan to talk about her new show “The Kardashians Made Me Do It”, where she doesn’t mince her words about the women who fangirl on ISIS fighters.
We’ll have four of the best designs from Junk Kouture, a national contest which encourages second level students to create striking couture designs and works of wearable art using everyday items that would normally find their way into the bin. We’ll meet the winner of the competition and hear from judges Vogue Williams and Louis Walsh.
Finally, music will be from Luka Bloom, We Banjo 3 and YouTube sensation Bry.
Tune into The Late Late Show, RTÉ One, Friday at 9.35pm
