Cork jockey Paul Townend is among the guests on tomorrow's Late Late Show on RTÉ One.

The Lisgoold native, a four time Cheltenham Gold Cup winner and leading jockey at this year's Cheltenham Festival with four winners, will be reflecting on one of the biggest weeks of the year in horse racing.

Mr Townend won the Michael O'Sullivan Supreme Novices' Hurdle on day one of the 2025 Cheltenham Festival.

Another jockey also will be on The Late Late Show this week, Cheltenham 2025 double winner and the only female jockey ever to win the Aintree Grand National, Rachael Blackmore.

Elsewhere, in her first exclusive Irish TV interview since moving to Ireland, talk show host, comedian, actress and philanthropist Rosie O’Donnell will be chatting to host Patrick Kielty about the welcome she has received in Ireland, why she made the decision to move here and her reaction to her move being raised during the Taoiseach's visit to the White House.

Country star Daniel O'Donnell is back on tour in Ireland this year and he will be on The Late Late Show to talk trips with family, touring and the lengths he has gone to for his fans in a career that has spanned four decades.

Comedian and actress Roisin Conaty, known for GameFace and After Life, will also be in studio.

She will speak about growing up in London with Irish parents and spending summers in Kerry. 

She will also be chatting about the new series LOL: Last One Laughing UK with Jimmy Carr.

The Late Late Show will be broadcast tomorrow at 9:35pm on RTÉ One and on the RTÉ Player.
