Oscar nominee Mescal was among the Irish BAFTA contenders in London on Sunday night. The Maynooth man is already a BAFTA winner for his breakthrough performance in Normal People.

It will be his first in-person appearance in the Late Late studio. He previously appeared via Zoom during the pandemic.

Tubridy joked that he will look Mescal in the eye and tell him: "Stop being so good at everything - it makes all of us feel very inadequate!"
