Here is your host, Patrick Kielty!
 
In her Late Late Show debut, European champion sprinter Rhasidat Adeleke will be in studio for her first interview in Ireland since the Paris Olympics. Rhasidat joins Patrick this Friday night to talk about her record-breaking season, the Diamond League, coming home to Ireland, and her recent encounter with one of her biggest fans – Rihanna!
 
The Script's Danny O'Donoghue and Glen Power sit down with Patrick to share memories of their band mate Mark Sheehan; they will talk family, getting sober, flying high with PINK as well as playing live acoustic performances from their back catalogue.
 
In a week that has seen war spread to Lebanon, where the civilian death toll continues to rise amid fears of a major escalation, Irish humanitarian John Whyte is in studio to give a picture of his life working with UNRWA in the epicentre of the conflict in Gaza, before he returns there next week. 
 
Gaeilgeoir, podcaster and presenter Hector Ó hEochagáin is in studio to talk about the Irish words and phrases we should know and use and what he's been doing now that he's no longer making his weekly trip to the Hen House.

Plus, it's time to dust off your cowboy boots as Patrick will be going live to a secret location where country music fans will be in with a chance of getting their hands on the last pair of tickets to be in the audience for The Late Late Country Music Special, happening on Friday 4th October!
