Will you be tuning in on Friday?

While Ireland battles with the latest surge of Covid-19, the advice remains to stay indoors, so you may be looking for something to watch on Friday night.

Here is the lineup for this week’s Late Late Show.

Brenda Fricker will pay a special tribute to the women and children of Ireland’s Mother and Baby Homes following the publication of the report from the Commission of Investigation earlier this week.

Next up is Derry Girls’ Nicola Coughlan, who will be joining Ryan to discuss her part in the hit Netflix series Bridgerton, a raunchy period drama on Netflix that has taken the world by storm.

Friday marks three years since the tragic death of Limerick’s Dolores O’Riordan. On Friday night, rising star Lyra will be in studio to give a very memorable performance in tribute to the much-missed lead singer of The Cranberries.

Ryan will speak to former boxer Barry McGuigan about how his family is coping since the death of his daughter, Danika, in 2019. Danika, who starred in shows including Can’t Cope, Won’t Cope, passed away at the age of 33 following a short illness.

As they come to the end of their second week on the Operation Transformation plan, Ryan will be meeting all five leaders of the show – Hazel Hartigan, Susuana Komolafe, Paul Devaney, Andrew Burke-Hannon, and Sharon Gaffney.

The Late Late Show kicks off on RTÉ One on Friday at 9.35pm.
