Expect hormones. Lots and lots of hormones.
Next Wednesday, as all you lovers out there should know, is Valentine’s Day, which means that the Late Late Show Valentine’s Special goes out tonight, always a recipe for chaos in the RTÉ studios.
It’s been a riot the last couple of years and with 200 single men and women in the audience for tonight’s edition, it’s going to be well worth tuning into once more.
As well as that, here’s who’s going to be on the Late Late and the Graham Norton Show on Friday night.
The Late Late Show airs on RTÉ One at 9.35pm and The Graham Norton Show goes out on BBC One and BBC Northern Ireland at 10.35pm.
