From serious issues to lighthearted topics, there is quite a mix on the Late Late show this Friday.
Documentary My Trans Life gives an intimate portrait of young Irish transgender people on their journey to transition. On Friday night, viewers will meet teenager Luke O’Reilly Kane and his mum Maura and Nicky Manning as they share the story of how they realised their true selves and the struggles they have encountered since coming out as trans.
The family of murdered Limerick man Jason Corbett will also join Ryan.

On Friday night, in their first major Irish television interview since the murder trial Tracey Corbett-Lynch, along with siblings Wayne Corbett and Marilyn Corbett, will discuss the terrible events that lead to Jason’s death, the trauma of the subsequent trial for his family and how they are doing now that his killers are behind bars.
