Italia '90 Ireland squad among guests for St Patrick's-themed Late Late Show

Patrick Kielty will be hosting a St Patrick’s weekend Late Late Show extravaganza tomorrow (Friday), with music, dancing, reunions and returns!

Getting the gang back together again, the 1990 Republic of Ireland squad will reunite on the show to relive one of Ireland’s greatest sporting journeys.

Marking 35 years since Ireland first qualified for the World Cup, Patrick Kielty will welcome Mick McCarthy, Niall Quinn, Packie Bonner, Ronnie Whelan, Ray Houghton, John Aldridge, Kevin Sheedy, David O'Leary, Andy Townsend, Chris Hughton, Chris Morris, Steve Staunton, Kevin Moran, Bernie Slaven, John Sheridan, Frank Stapleton and David Kelly to the studio.

Riverdance will also be taking over The Late Late Show studio on Friday night as the cast showcases the global phenomenon which began as the interval act during the Eurovision Song Contest 1994.

Grammy Award-winner and Cork singer-songwriter Cian Ducrot will be on the show to perform his new song, Little Dreaming.

Fresh from singing the National Anthems at last week's Six Nations Cian, who has just announced his first headline show at the 3Arena for later this year, will also sit down with Patrick this Friday night for a chat.

The winner of this year’s Dancing with the Stars is just days away from taking home the coveted glitterball, and joining Patrick on the show will be the anticipatory finalists Jack Woolley, Rhys McClenaghan, Kayleigh Trappe and Danny O’Carroll along with their pro-partners Alexandra Vladimirov, Laura Nolan, Ervinas Merfeldas and Salome Chachua.

B*Witched will also make their return to The Late Late Show this Friday night. Chart toppers Keavy, Edele, Sinead and Lindsay will be performing an ultimate fan favourite.

The episode will air on RTE One on Friday night at 9.35pm.
