Game of Thrones star joins stellar line-up for The Late Late Show this week

Rugby hero Paul O’Connell and Game of Thrones actor Liam Cunningham will join Ryan Tubridy on The Late Late Show this week.

Limerick legend O’Connell will chat about what life is like now that he has hung up his boots. He’ll be giving viewers his take on the Irish team that reached new heights with a Grand Slam and back-to-back Six Nations titles and where the inspirational team talks he is famous for come from.

Game of Thrones star Liam Cunningham, who plays Ser Davis in the hit HBO series, recently visited the Syrian refugee camps in Jordan. Liam will join Ryan in studio to talk about what he saw, why he’s angry about it and what he thinks the Irish Government – and the Irish people – should be doing to help.

Ireland’s very own Queen of Fashion, Pippa O’Connor, will also be on hand to help three eager volunteers revamp their winter wardrobe live on air – just days after the release of her debut book.

Smalltown star Pat Shortt will be in studio to chat about his new film ‘The Flag’, an irreverent take on 1916, and delving into the archives to find some hidden gems in his upcoming TV show, while writer and raconteur Michael Harding will also be in studio to catch up with Ryan.

It has been 30 years since 13-year-old schoolboy Philip Cairns vanished, so this Friday night, Prime Time’s Barry Cummins will talk viewers through Philip’s case alongside the cases of some of Ireland’s most high profile missing persons from Annie McCarrick to Esra Uyrun and the families of Deirdre Jacob and Trevor Deely will be in studio to tell their stories.

All that plus music from The Three Amigos, Nickelback and Mick Flannery.

Only on The Late Late Show, RTÉ One this Friday at 9.35pm
