Will you be spending this evening in front of the TV?
Sure, the evenings might be getting longer but the rain hasn’t really cleared up – and that’s a good enough reason for plenty of people to spend the evening in the company of some wine, a Chinese takeaway and the telly.
Ryan Tubridy and Graham Norton will be vying for viewers this evening – these are the guests they’ve enlisted to help them grab your attention.
The Late Late Show
Sonia O’Sullivan
Iconic Irish athlete Sonia O’Sullivan will be joining Ryan Tubridy on the couch to talk about the increasing prevalence of doping in athletics what it will mean for the sport, as well as the sketchy circumstances that saw her beaten to two gold medals in Stuttgart’s 1993 World Championships.

RTÉ’s Phillip Boucher-Hayes will also feature on the show to remind us all not to eat anything that we enjoy eating.
