Late Late Show returns this Friday with The Script, Boy George, Dolores O’Riordan's mother and more set to feature

Pierre Louis Baudey-Vignaud, Ireland's Olympic heroes, Donie O' Sullivan and Eileen O'Riordan will also feature on this week's show.

The Late Late Show is set to welcome back its first studio audience since March 2020, as the world’s longest-running live chat show returns this Friday, September 3, at 9.35pm.

“This will be a Late Late season like no other as we move into the light and towards a new run of Friday nights," Ryan Tubridy says. "I’m particularly looking forward to reuniting with the audience who I have missed so much. We’ll have a few in this week but hopefully a full house soon. My advice to viewers is to put the kettle on, chill the wine and order in. Leave the rest to us!”

The Script will be performing their new single ‘I Want It All’ from their upcoming greatest hits collection Tales From The Script, and discussing why they’re so excited to get back on the road with a new tour.

Sophie Toscan du Plantier’s son, Pierre Louis Baudey-Vignaud, will talk about the impact his mother's brutal murder has had on his life and why he still visits the home where his mother was murdered.

Ireland's Olympic heroes will also be on, including Kellie Harrington, Paul O’Donovan, Fintan McCarthy, Aidan Walsh, Afric Keogh, Eimear Lambe, Fiona Murtagh and Emily Hegarty. They'll chat to Ryan about what they have been getting up to since they arrived back from Tokyo.

Culture Club icon Boy George will appear live in-studio, to talk about his remarkable career, as well as his special connection to Ireland.

In a special musical tribute, Eileen O’Riordan remembers her beloved daughter Dolores on what would have been her 50th birthday. She will talk about Dolores' incredible talent and her mischievous nature. Eileen will also be joined by Fergal Lawler from The Cranberries who will chat about his life on the road and in the studio with his friend, the iconic Dolores O’Riordan.

Ryan will also catch up with CNN journalist and Cahersiveen man Donie O'Sullivan to chat about his adventures in America.

Watch The Late Late Show this Friday, September 3, at 9.35pm on RTÉ One.
