Nigel Farage to appear on historic episode of The Late Late Show filmed in London

Carl Kinsella

Nigel Farage

He’ll be joining Ryan Tubridy to talk about Brexit.

Noted Brexiteer Nigel Farage will appear on The Late Late Show tomorrow as part of the show’s celebration of the Irish in Britain, which will be filmed live in London.

Farage, as then-leader of UKIP, was a strong voice behind Brexit. He is currently an MEP, and has failed to secure election as an MP seven times.

The anti-EU crusader has visited Ireland recently — speaking at an “Irexit” conference in Dublin earlier this year. Farage has also repeatedly appeared in the United States to speak on behalf of Donald Trump at his rallies.

The controversial politician will be part of a debate on Brexit and its impact on Ireland. Host Ryan Tubridy will welcome former Labour Party spin doctor Alastair Campbell joined by Dublin-born Liberal Democrat  Baroness Dee Doocey on the anti-Brexit side, with Nigel Farage and economist Liam Halligan on the pro-Brexit side.

Thankfully, there will also be lighter entertainment involved for anyone who tunes in, and the bumper show will also feature guests like Graham NortonBrendan O’CarrollLaura WhitmoreAngela ScanlonMick McCarthy, Eamonn Holmes, Imelda May and Barry McGuigan.

The Late Late Show, live from London, will air this Friday 12 October at 9:35pm on RTÉ One.
