President Michael D Higgins will appear on the Late Late Show tonight in light of Queen Elizabeth II’s passing - in a last minute change to the RTE show.
The change will see other elements of the show cut this week to make time for the president to remember the late monarch’s legacy and relationship with Ireland following her death on Thursday, aged 96.
An RTE spokesperson said: “In light of the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, President of Ireland Michael D Higgins will speak about the Queen’s relationship with Ireland, the importance of her state visit here, her legacy and his return visit to the UK.
“Ultimate Hell Week: The Professionals interview will be postponed for a later date.”
TikTok star Tadhg Fleming, Mrs Brown's Boys actress Fiona O'Carroll and former Miss Ireland Pamela Uba were due to take to the show to speak about why they wanted to face their fears in signing up to be part of this year's ‘Ultimate Hell Week: The Professionals’.
Elsewhere, the show is due to welcome Hollywood royalty, with George Clooney and Julia Roberts leading the lineup this week.
Ryan will talk to the Academy Award winners about their new romantic comedy ‘Ticket to Paradise’ and why they wanted to make another movie together.
The host will also chat to them about George’s Irish ancestry and Julia’s memories of filming ‘Michael Collins’ here in Ireland.
Amy Huberman will be on the show to talk about her new children's book and her upcoming acting work.
Ahead of the first ever Dublin BrickCon in Ireland, there will be a few very special Lego recreations of famous Irish landmarks in-studio.
Plus, there will be a very special musical performance with Megan O’Neill singing "Lay your Head Down.”
