Who's on the RTE Late Late Show with Ryan Tubridy on Friday? All you need to know

The lineup for The Late Late Show this Friday night has been revealed with a stacked show in store this weekend for Ryan Tubridy.

Michelle O'Neill, Northern Ireland's Deputy First Minister, makes her first visit ever to The Late Late Show. She'll chat with Ryan about how becoming a mother aged 16 changed her life, her hopes for post-Brexit Ireland.

There'll also be questions about her infamous appearance at Bobby Storey's funeral and her relationship with DUP First Minister Arlene Foster.

Welsh crooner Tom Jones will be giving an exclusive performance on The Late Late Show with his take on a Bob Dylan classic One More Cup of Coffee from his new album Surrounded by Time.

Jamie Wall, who in 2014 was a promising dual GAA star, will speak to Ryan about the day that his life took a remarkable turn after he felt a pain in his back and how he adjusted to paralysis and went on to manage his home club to victory.

Tolu Ibikunle, Susan Ilesanmi, and Okefe Afe, three of the Dubliners who shot to fame on TikTok with their viral accents video, will be joining Tubridy in studio.

Una Ring & Eve McDowell, who were both subjected to terrifying stalking ordeals, will speak about their campaign to have a specific offence of stalking introduced with longer sentences for the crime.

Plus Villagers will give an exclusive performance of their brand-new single The First Day.

Earlier this week, Tubridy wished his lookalike a very happy birthday.

He posted on his Instagram account to his 166,000 followers a 30th birthday message to a man named Wes.

The Dubliner shared a snap of Wes next to a cardboard cut-out of him and Tubridy admitted how similar they look.

He said: “This is Wes (right), he just turned 30 and has been slagged way too much for looking like me!?

“So his family got him a cardboard cut-out to add to the poor man’s pain.

“Happy birthday Wes and sorry for your troubles.”
