Here’s who’s on the Late Late Show tonight

Laura Holland

The Late Late Show will have all Irish guests on this Friday in honour of St Patrick’s Day.

If you’re not out celebrating the festivities then why not settle in for a night in front of the TV?

On this Friday’s Late Late Show, we will find out the results of DNA tests completed by a host of well-known faces.

Earlier this year, Maura Derrane, Eamon Dunphy, Jason Byrne and Michael Healy-Rae agreed to have their DNA tested to determine their ancestry.

On Friday night they will find out the results live on air when Ancestry.ie’s Mike Mulligan breaks the news. One of them will find out they are 100% Irish, while another will be discovering relatives they never knew they had.

Football legend Paul McGrath will join Ryan Tubridy in studio to assess the Ireland’s chances in their upcoming World Cup Qualifier against Wales.

The zookeepers from Dublin Zoo will be on the show and there will also be a live link-up with Dublin Zoo where the newest addition to the zoo’s bongo herd will be christened.

Olympian Annalise Murphy will be dropping by following her stint as Grand Marshal at the St Patrick’s Day Parade to chat about how life has been since she won silver in Rio.

RTÉ One, 9.35pm.
