Music legend Mary Black and TV personality Coleen Rooney will be among Patrick Kielty's guests on Friday's Late Late Show on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.
"There will be no frontiers as The Late Late Show will honour folk music legend Mary Black in a special episode this week," said The Late Late.
"The singer will perform two of her hit songs, Katie and Carolina Rua. Her son, The Coronas frontman Danny O'Reilly, will also be in studio, as will her daughter, fellow singer Róisín O, who will also perform a track she wrote for her beloved mother. Those who know and love Mary best will pay tribute to her in a special montage, and there will be a big surprise from a very famous face. Mary will also talk about the recent passing of her friend and fellow music legend, Dolores Keane.
"Coleen Rooney will join Patrick on the couch this week, too. The TV personality, author, and businesswoman will chat about her life in the media, her marriage with footballer Wayne Rooney and her family connections to Ireland, as well as her latest venture into the world of fashion.
"Ahead of Ireland's crunch World Cup 2026 clash against Czechia next Thursday, Jason McAteer will be live in studio. The sports star will reflect on lining out for Ireland in two World Cups, his glittering career on the pitch, and burying the hatchet with his former teammate Roy Keane.
"Plus, as the nation holds its breath in the hopes of another famous Irish win, one lucky audience member will get the chance to cheer on the Boys in Green in Fortuna Arena in Prague as Patrick gives away two tickets to the sold-out game.
"This and lots more on Friday's Late Late Show."
