WATCH: Highlights of Patrick Kielty's first year as RTÉ Late Late Show host before final episode

The last of this season's Late Late Show has been announced and for Patrick Kielty, what a year it has been.

The new host kicked off his reign of the popular Friday night show with a bang with guests such as Mary McAleese, Leo Varadkar and Graham Norton, to US talk show host Conan O'Brien.

Kielty is the fourth presenter to take the helm of the Late Late and has been extremely well received with viewers over the past year, he was even a big hit with the kids after his nerve-racking debut on the annual Toy Show.

The county Down man will now be able to kick up his feet for the summer and enjoy a well deserved break, before the show returns in September later this year.

The last Late Late Show will air this Friday, May 10, on RTÉ One at 9.35pm.
