Miriam Margolyes, Damian Lewis, Andrew Porter, Rick Astley, Emma Doran, and Celine Byrne are all on RTÉ's "The Late Late Show" tonight, Friday, October 10.

BAFTA-winning actress Miriam Margolyes will sit down with Patrick for a no-holds-barred chat about her extraordinary career – from working with Hollywood heavyweights like Leonardo DiCaprio and Arnold Schwarzenegger to her most outrageous moments on and off screen. She will discuss why she believes sex, religion, and politics are exactly what we should be talking about and why honesty is always the best policy. 

Award-winning actor Damian Lewis, best known for his roles in "Billions," "Homeland," and "Band of Brothers," will also be on the couch this week for his "Late Late Show" debut. He will chat to Patrick about his life on screen and how he recently turned his talents to music. Ahead of his Irish gigs later this month, he’ll discuss his passion for performing and what inspired the shift from screen to stage.

Best known for his performances with Ireland and Leinster on the rugby field, Andrew Porter will be in the studio to chat about his new book "Heart on My Sleeve." He will discuss losing his mother at a young age, his struggle with mental health following her death, and why he has decided to share his deeply personal story. Andrew will also look ahead to the upcoming 2025 Autumn Nations Series and 2026 Six Nations Tournament. 

Pop legend Rick Astley will chat to Patrick about his surprise and joy at reaching over one billion streams on Spotify earlier this year. He’ll also treat us to special performance of one of his biggest hits - a ’90s nostalgia classic that you won’t want to miss! 

Comedy star Emma Doran will bring her razor-sharp humour to the "Late Late" couch this week, ahead of her highly anticipated Irish tour. With viral success online and a knack for turning everyday chaos into comedy gold, Emma will share her take on womanhood, pop culture, and the madness of modern life. 

Irish soprano Celine Byrne will join this week’s lineup to chat about how a childhood footing turf and playing camogie led her to duetting with some of the world’s biggest stars on the most famous stages. She will also discuss her upcoming role in "Madama Butterfly," coming to the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre in November, and share a sneak peek of what audiences can expect from this powerful operatic performance.  

"The Late Late Show," sponsored by PTSB, airs on RTÉ One at 9:35 pm on Fridays and streams on the RTÉ Player.
