Love Island Derry Girls Ray D'Arcy Show

This is a star-studded line-up and then some.

The Ray D’Arcy Show returns to TV screens this weekend, and RTÉ are pulling out all the stops to kick things off with a bang.

A Love Island exclusive will see winning couple Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham take to the couch, talking about their lives since leaving the villa and adjusting to life without a hundred cameras in their faces at all times.

Elsewhere, creator of the already-beloved Derry Girls Lisa McGee will sit down for a chat alongside some of the stars of the hit Channel 4 show.

And that’s not all, with troubadour Damien Dempsey – who just announced a pair of Dublin Christmas gigs – dropping by to discussing tracing his ancestry for TV series Who Do You Think You Are?

On top of all of that, Ray will meet Oisin Langford and Ned Hawkins, two Waterford natives aiming to turn their comic business into a lucrative empire before they are teenagers.

Finally, Alison Nevin, who snapped a selfie with Pope Francis at Croke Park last month, will reveal just how she managed to capture the famous photo.

The Ray D’Arcy Show airs on RTÉ One this Saturday at 9.45pm
