This week’s Late Late Show will feature an interview with Bernard Lucas, husband of coast guard volunteer CaitrÃona Lucas, who tragically died during a rescue mission in September last year.
The mum-of-two was the first member of the Irish Coast Guard to lose their life during a rescue mission, and her family will be in studio to talk to host Ryan Tubridy about the devastating impact of her death and to pay tribute to her.
The show will be celebrating the work of the Irish Coast Guard and the RNLI, hearing from members hailing from all around the country and some of the people who owe their lives to their tireless efforts.
As we revealed yesterday, former Miss Ireland Amanda Brunker will be getting botox live in studio – and there will be a demonstration of the increasingly popular lip filler procedure.

Meanwhile, fashion designer and TV presenter Brendan Courtney and his family faced the toughest decision of their lives when it became clear that, following a stroke, his father Frank was suddenly no longer able to care for himself.
Making the heartbreaking choice between caring for their father at home or letting him go into long term care is a decision that can tear families apart, so Brendan will be sharing his family’s story and shining a light on how few options there are for families facing a similar situation.
Ryan will also be catching up with D’Unbelievables comedian Jon Kenny and Glenroe actress Mary McEvoy as they prepare to take to the Gaiety stage with John B Keane’s The Successful TD.
All that and music from Eddi Reader, Jack Lukeman and Lisa Canny.
Watch The Late Late Show, RTÉ One, Friday at 9.35pm.Â
