Deviating slightly from the what is an otherwise primarily Irish theme to the Late Late Show, the ever-opinionated Piers Morgan, host of Good Morning Britain, will be joining Tubridy. Having seemingly self-appointed himself as one of Donald Trump's biggest admirers, Morgan will be discussing the US President's upcoming visit to Ireland in November, as well as other matters pertinent to Ireland, Britain and the EU.

One of the more unforeseen sporting stories of the summer came courtesy of the Irish Senior Women's Hockey Team who, despite not having previously qualified for the World Cup in sixteen years, made it all the way to the final in July. They'll be talking about their incredible journey in London and the widespread fanfare they've received off the back of their success.

Staying on the topic of sport, fresh off of edging out Galway in the All Ireland Hurling Final by a solitary point, Limerick's John Kiely (manager), Declan Hannon (captain) and Joe O'Connor (strength and conditioning coach) will be in studio to talk about how they pulled off the county's first championship victory in forty-five years.

There'll also be a heavy presence from our successful athletes, with European Championships medalists Rhys McClenaghan and Thomas Barr in to tell all of their pommel horse and hurdling exploits respectively. Ellen Keane took the win in the 100m breaststroke at the European Para Swimming and Athletics Championships, she'll also tell viewers of both her and the wider Irish team's glory from last month.

Steering away from from sporting matters, the story of twelve boys from Thailand and their soccer coach being trapped and subsequently rescued from a cave became one of the most gripping stories of the year so far. With first-hand experience of the rescue mission, Clare-based diver Jimmy Warny will provide his insight on risking his life and the dangers the situation entailed for all involved.

At this year's Rose of Tralee, Carlow Rose Shauna Ray Lacey poured her heart out in front of the nation, speaking on the drug addiction both of her parents suffer from and the impact it has had on her own life. Shauna's mother will join her daughter on the Late Late Show to talk of these tough times and the overwhelming support she's received since Shauna's speech aired.

There's also music from James Vincent McMorrow and Beverley Craven. The latter will be performing 1990 hit 'Promise Me', which you can listen to below.
