Love Island stars Maura Higgins and Greg O'Shea to appear on Late Late Show on RTE

Love Island stars Greg O'Shea and Maura Higgins will appear on The Late Late Show this Friday night.

The Limerick man, who won the show, and the bombshell from Longford will join Ryan Tubridy alongside Greg's girlfriend and fellow winner Amber Gill.

It was previously rumoured that the Irish stars would appear on the first show of the series. And host Tubridy confirmed the news on Tuesday.

He told his RTE Radio 1 listeners: "Now, I am going for coffee with Greg from Love Island because he is on the show on Friday night, along with Maura and Amber and Sinead O'Connor and everyone else.

"I am looking forward to saying hello to him in advance of that."

After their meeting, Greg said: "Great chat this morning with [Ryan]...True gent."

Ryan added: "See ya Friday night."

Last week, the chat show host Aisling Bea and Sinead O'Connor will also be in the Donnybrook studio, RSVP Live reports.

He told the RTE Guide: "Sinead O’Connor, an icon; Aisling Bea, a new superstar knocking them out in the UK; and Maura Higgins from Love Island, a pop-culture phenomenon. It’s running the gamut, and that’s where The Late Late excels.

"We’re also hoping to make a nod towards all the people who’ve served this country in uniform, which needs to be done.

"Just to say thanks. And where else can you do that, but on  the Late Late ."

Tune into the first show of the season on RTE One at 9.35pm on Friday.
