Ed Sheeran is set to appear on as one of the guests on Friday's night's RTE Late Late Show, as the full line up has been revealed.
Ryan Tubridy will chat to the Shape Of You singer in a pre-recorded interview that was filmed when Ed was in Dublin for his gig in the 3Arena on March 30.

Ed will speak candidly about the death of his close friend Jamal Edwards and his tumultuous 2022 when his wife Cherry was diagnosed with cancer.
He also discusses the Irish influences on his life and music and reportedly has a surprise for Ryan that leaves him speechless.
However, he will not be speaking about the death of his late Irish grandmother Anne Mary (Nancy) Sheeran as the interview was recorded before she passed away.
Ed's grandmother, who inspired his hit song Nancy Mulligan, passed away at the age of 98 and her funeral was held on Wednesday at St Patrick’s Church Monaseed Gorey.
Sadly, Ed was unable to attend due to his high profile copyright trial in New York.
His father John Sheeran told mourners Ed wasn’t in the church because he had to “defend his integrity” in his court case in New York.
Also appearing on the show will be actress Caitríona Balfe to chat about the enduring success of Outlander, which now in its seventh season.
She will discuss why she continues to fight for better working conditions for models despite leaving the industry more than a decade ago and why she missed the slap that was heard around the world when she attended the Oscars for her hit movie Belfast.
Turbidy will be joined on the show by Dublin GAA star Philly McMahon, comedian Rory O’Connor (aka Rory Stories) and the governor of Mountjoy Prison Edward Mullins ahead of their appearance on a new series Gaelic in the Joy that is due to kick off on RTÉ One on May 17.
The show will document a group of prisoners who are participating in a rehabilitation programme as the stars prepare them for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play at Croke Park.
Also on the show, five models from the Junk Kouture competition will showcase their magnificent designs made from actual waste.
And Ryan will speak to former players from the Ireland Women’s National Team, who are celebrating the 50th anniversary, about the dedication and determination it took to be the first women to represent Ireland at senior women's level.
For a musical performance, Rachel Mae Hannon will be making her Late Late Show debut on the same day that her new song The Boys will be released.
The Late Late Show airs on Friday on RTÉ One at 9.35pm.
