This week’s Late Late lineup is definitely worth a look

There's a nice mix of guests on the Late Late Show this week.

Host Ryan Tubridy will be joined in studio by people from the worlds of sport, music, TV and current affairs. As she returns to music after taking time out to become a mum, singer Paloma Faith is making the trip from the UK to discuss her career and her upcoming tour. Irish rugby legend Brian O'Driscoll will be stopping by to look ahead to this year's Six Nations tournament and chat about life following his retirement from the professional game. Young rugby fan Michaela Morley, who captured all of our hearts with her excitement at meeting Brian at Temple Street Children’s University Hospital recently, will also join her hero on the couch to talk about the good work carried out at the hospital. Ryan will be looking ahead to this weekend's Dancing With The Stars with some of its most popular dancers. Bernard O’Shea and Anna Geary are set to appear alongside professionals Karen Byrne and Ryan McShane to give an insight into the amount of preparation that goes into the live performances. Jounalist Jennifer O’Connell and neuroscientist Professor Ian Robertson will also be on the show chatting about anxiety and stress. They'll discuss a new nationwide research project that aims to get an insight into the wellbeing of the nation. Actors Nigel Havers, Denis Lawson and Stephen Tompkinson will sit down with Ryan to chat about their careers and ART, the Tony-award winning comedy play that's coming back to the Gaiety Theatre. The show will also mark the second anniversary of the Regency Hotel shooting with a discussion on gangland violence. There'll be music on the night from De Danann and River Matthews.
