Ryan Tubridy makes RTE Late Late Show promise and tells what types of program get most viewers

Ryan Tubridy has promised tonight's Late Late Show will be Eurovision filled and help people "escape from it all".

The latest RTE show will feature Breaking Bad actor Bryan Cranston and will also be going "Eurovision mad" this Friday night.

The Dubliner revealed that the chat show gets more viewers when it's an Irish-centred line-up - Tubs explained: "the more Irish we go the more people watch".

Speaking on his RTE Radio One Show, Tubs also told of an exchange he had in a shop on his way to work on Friday morning - the RTE star said a lady in a shop suggested he had a long day ahead, to which he simply replied: "Yeah but I love what I do."

Her Eurovision hopes were dashed with the cancellation of last year's show, but Dubliner Lesley Roy is ready to finish what she started and will give her debut performance of Ireland's 2021 Eurovision entry, Maps , tomorrow night.

Lesley will speak about her hopes for glory in Rotterdam this May. It's also going to be an evening for celebrating Eurovision victories and iconic Irish moments from the competition, with former winners Linda Martin.
