Choose life. Choose Norton.
It’s that time of the week again. Here’s who is going to be on both couches tonight.
The Late Late Show
Jason Donovan
One of the 80s’ biggest teen idols will join be joining Ryan for a chat about achieving international fame on Neighbours and his career as a popstar. He’ll be filling viewers in on how becoming a father transformed his life; and why trips to the jungle and across the Strictly dance floor revitalised his career; as well as touring with Million Dollar Quartet.
Dermot Bannon
Dermot will be telling viewers why he supported the recent occupation of Apollo House and why he believes vulture funds shouldn’t be allowed own private homes plus the radical solutions he thinks are needed to fix the housing problem. He’ll also be telling viewers why the Irish need to give up their love affair with owning property. And we’ll be hearing how he cajoled another round of hesitant homeowners into his way of thinking on the new series of Room to Improve.
Eamonn Holmes
The last time the TV host visited the Late Late, he was about to undergo a major double hip operation. What followed was one of the toughest years of his life as he recovered from the surgery and left Sky News after 11 years. Eamonn is popping in for a catch up and he’ll be joined by his wife and This Morning co-presenter Ruth Langsford.
Celine Byrne
The Irish soprano has travelled the world performing for Popes and Presidents alongside luminaries like José Carreras and Andrea Boccelli.
Elsewhere…
With Taoiseach Enda Kenny rowing in behind moves to recognise Traveller ethnicity, Friday’s Late Late will feature a married couple who have been fighting hard for it. Together since their arranged marriage in the early 70s, Michael and Nell McDonagh are fiercely proud of their Traveller heritage and, though not on the road, they have maintained the traditions they hold dear.
The Graham Norton Show
It’s a Trainspotting 2 special and here’s who Graham will be chatting with.
Ewan McGregor
Renton is back and we presume that he’s still running for his life. After all, Begbie must be pissed that he was cheated out of that £16,000. We wonder if McGregor’s recent ‘discussion’ with Piers Morgan will be brought up? We’re also hoping for some Star Wars chat.
Danny Boyle
The Oscar winning director of Slumdog Millionaire, Shallow Grave and 127 Hours will also be on the couch to talk about what it was like to reunite Edinburgh’s most famous drug addicts.
Robert Carlyle
We all know that they give out free drink on the show, but we really hope that nobody makes Begbie spill a drop. We all know what happens next!
Jonny Lee Miller and Ewwn BremmerÂ
It’s not a Trainspotting reunion without Sick Boy and Spud. Here’s hoping that the latter doesn’t shit the couch.
Music will be provided by Izzy Bizu.
LISTEN: You Must Be Jokin’ with Aideen McQueen – Faith healers, Coolock craic and Gigging as Gaeilge
