RTE's Ryan Tubridy teases 'extraordinary' story from one Late Late Show guest

RTE broadcaster Ryan Tubridy has teased an amazing story that one of his Late Late Show guests will reveal on Friday's programme.

It comes as a special tribute to legendary Irish singer Paddy Moloney will feature on the show after the Dubliner passed away earlier this week.

Moloney founded The Chieftains in Dublin in 1963, alongside the original lineup of Sean Potts, Martin Fay, David Fallon and Mick Tubridy.

Taken actor Liam Neeson will also appear as a guest to discuss his career and well as his role as UNICEF's Goodwill Ambassador for the Get a Vaccine - Give a Vaccine campaign.

Neeson has hailed the generosity of the Irish public as he announced that donations for UNICEF’s campaign have passed the 2 million doses mark.

Angela Scanlon, host of RTE's hotly anticipated new Saturday night entertainment show Angela Scanlon’s Ask Me Anything, is also lined up to appear.

And, in a rare television interview, Ireland and Munster rugby star Keith Earls will open up in a personal chat with Tubridy.

Teasing the Late Late Show on his RTE Radio One programme on Friday morning, the host promised an "extraordinary" discussion with Earls.

He said: "We look forward to chatting about everyone and everything on the programme later tonight.

"And I must say, I really urge you to listen and look out for Keith Earls who will be on the show tonight.

"The rugby superstar has an extraordinary, and I mean extraordinary story to talk about.

"You'll hear about it later on and I won't say it now because we'll leave it for him to tell you but that is quite something."
