And Exclusive Reveal of Five Dancing With The Stars Contestants

Here is your host, Patrick Kielty!

This Friday night Patrick will welcome to the Late Late the next five contestants vying for the glitterball on the upcoming series of Dancing with the Stars. Putting them through their paces, the newest judge to the panel, Karen Byrne will also join Patrick. Two-time winner across seven seasons, Karen knows what it takes to win and she will be sharing her experiences from the cha cha to the rumba for the class of 2025.

Commandant Jane O'Neill and Private Adam Higgins recently returned from South Lebanon, where they were deployed as part of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL). They join Patrick to share what life was like in Camp Shamrock and how it feels to be home for Christmas.

Actor, writer and director Rupert Everett will be chatting to Patrick about spending time in Ireland, his new book The American No, his recent guest appearance in the Netflix hit Emily in Paris and his plans for Christmas.

Irish athlete Ciara Mageean will be chatting about a year that saw her win gold at the European Championships, the injury laid waste to her Olympic dream and why she isn't giving up that dream just yet. The County Down native will share her journey of recovery with Patrick and will also be looking ahead to the GOAL Mile, for which she is an ambassador.

Two of Ireland's best-known singers, Nathan Carter and Una Healy have joined forces for the first time to record a Christmas classic in aid of Barnardos. They'll join Patrick for a chat and will perform Mistletoe and Wine' in studio with the children's choir from Corville National School in Roscrea, Co. Tipperary.
