RTE Late Late guest confirmed for tonight but full line-up under wraps

While the full line-up for tonight's RTE Late Late Show has been kept under wraps, one guest visiting Patrick Kielty on his shiny new set has confirmed they will appear.

RTE no longer releases a list of guests ahead of each show on Friday nights with viewers forced to tune in to find out who's on the sofa with the new host.

It had become customary for RTE to release the guest list the day before the show and on occasion, Ryan Tubridy even announced big guests during the week on his radio show.

However, since Co Down man Kielty took to the hot seat, it looks as though the release of guest line-ups is a thing of the past. 

No official confirmation of the line-up has been issued by RTE this week but one Irish celeb has confirmed he will be on the show. 

Comedian Jason Byrne has taken to social media to tell fans he will be interviewed on tonight show.

"I'm going to be on the Late Late Show tonight with Patrick Kielty. I'm really looking forward to it," he told followers. Byrne will discuss his new book, Memories of a Wonky-Eyed Man: The Dad Knows Best Years which hit the shelves in recent weeks.

Also in the line-up will be a live link-up to Paris where the final pair of tickets to Saturday's all-important Rugby World Cup quarter-final between Ireland and New Zealand will be given away.

It's almost certain that a preview of the crunch clash in the Stade de France will feature on tonight show too. The RTE Late Late show will be shown live on RTE One from 9.35pm on Friday, October 13.
