Jason McAteer to appear on Late Late Show

Ahead of Ireland’s crunch World Cup 2026 clash against Czechia next Thursday, Jason McAteer will be live in RTÉ's studio for the Late Late Show.

The sports star will reflect on lining out for Ireland in two World Cups, his glittering career on the pitch and burying the hatchet with his former teammate Roy Keane.

And as the nation holds its breath in the hopes of another famous Irish win, one audience member will get the chance to cheer on the Boys in Green in Fortuna Arena in Prague as host Patrick Kielty gives away two tickets to the sold-out game.

Coleen Rooney will also appear on the show. The TV personality, author and businesswoman will chat about her life in the media, her marriage with footballer Wayne Rooney and her family connections to Ireland, as well as her latest venture into the world of fashion.

Folk singer Mary Black will also perform two of her hit songs on the show, “Katie” and “Carolina Rua”.

Her son, The Coronas frontman Danny O’Reilly, and her daughter, singer Roisín O, will also be in the studio.

Black will also talk about the recent passing of her friend and fellow music legend, Dolores Keane.

The Late Late Show is on Friday at 9:35pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.
