It's a festive Late Late tonight, with Patrick Kielty welcoming Shane Lowry and Brendan Fraser for a Christmas Special that also brings a big Dancing with the Stars reveal and live music from Tom Grennan and Brooke Scullion
Lowry is set to look back on a standout run in golf, including Europe's Ryder Cup win at Bethpage Black in September, and his recent spell at the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai. He will also revisit the memories of lifting the Claret Jug at Royal Portrush in 2019, and chat about plans for some downtime over Christmas.
Oti Mabuse will talk about stepping into the role of head judge on RTÉ's Dancing with the Stars in 2026, with Eurovision winner Niamh Kavanagh joining her to discuss taking on the challenge as a contestant.
The show is also set to reveal three more celebrities live on air.
Fraser will discuss his latest film Rental Family, as well as his Oscar-winning turn in The Whale. He is also expected to chat about reports of a new Mummy "legacy sequel", with multiple outlets reporting a new film is in development.
Comedian Jason Byrne will also join Kielty for a chat about life on the road and what he has lined up next, while Grennan will perform his festive track It Can't Be Christmas and speak about playing Live at the Marquee in Cork next summer (9 July 2026).
Audiences will also be treated to music from Brooke Scullion as she takes to the Late Late stage with a very special Christmas classic.
