Joining Westlife on Friday night will be Imelda May, who’ll chat to Late Late host Patrick about her personal journey to reconnect with the Irish language, as part of her new series Imelda May: Amhráin na nGael.
The series will take viewers on a journey through the Gaeltacht regions, exploring Ireland’s rich cultural heritage through traditional music. Imelda will also speak about her excitement at hitting the road again for her upcoming tour and about turning her talent to film when she stars alongside Pierce Brosnan and Gabriel Byrne in Four Letters of Love.
Comedy legend and author Ben Elton will also drop in on Friday to reflect on his stellar career, including his work on Blackadder and The Young Ones. He’ll be chatting to Patrick about his life and times, working with Queen on the smash-hit musical We Will Rock You, and his long-standing, unrequited love for Emma Thompson. Yes, really.
