@Source: independent.ie
Patrick Kielty will be hosting the St Patrick’s Day themed show with plenty of music, dancing, reunions and returns to be expected.
The 1990 Republic of Ireland squad will come together to relive one of Ireland’s greatest sporting years, the year that was Italia 90.
Marking 35 years since Ireland first qualified for the World Cup, 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 the studio by storm on Friday night as the cast showcase the global phenomenon which began as the interval act during the Eurovision Song Contest 1994.
The dance troupe is set to perform in the Gaiety Theatre throughout the summer and will be showing off a bit of flair before they start these string of performances.
Grammy Award-winner and Cork singer-songwriter Cian Ducrot will be on the show to perform his new song Little Dreaming.
Ducrot is fresh from singing the national anthems at last week's Six Nations Cian and has just announced his first headline show at the 3Arena for later this year.
He will also sit down with Patrick this Friday night for a chat.
With the Dancing with the Stars final just days away, nerves are building and the tension is rising amongst contestants.
Joining Kielty on the show are the 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.
They’ll be chatting about their time spent on and off the dancefloor, the friendships they’ve made and more.
B*Witched also make their return to The Late Late studio this Friday night. Chart toppers Keavy, Edele, Sinead and Lindsay will be performing an ultimate fan favourite.
And that’s not all, Irish rugby fans in Rome will have the chance to win a pair of tickets to the Italy v Ireland match this Saturday.
