Una Healy among Late Late Show Christmas special guests

The line-up for this week’s Late Late Show Christmas special have been announced, including Una Healy, Rupert Everett and Toy Show star Brian Óg. The show will also feature an exclusive reveal of five contestants for the new season of Dancing With The Stars.

Commandant Jane O'Neill and Private Adam Higgins will also be joining tomorrow’s show, after recently returning from South Lebanon, where they were deployed as part of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL).

They will be chatting about their time in Camp Shamrock as well as how it feels to be home for Christmas.

Actor, writer and director Everett will open up about his time in Ireland, his new book The American No and his recent appearance in the Netflix show Emily In Paris.

A very Irish ranking 🤣
