Another star-studded line-up has been revealed for Friday night’s Late Late Show.

Actress Patsy Kensit will join Patrick Kielty as she recalls travelling 242 miles around north-east England on the latest series of BBC’s Pilgrimage.

She will reveal how she found herself through faith and how her past traumas came to the surface on the journey of a lifetime to Holy Island. The soap favourite will also tease if she plans to return to Emmerdale.

After returning to the screen for another hit series of The Young Offenders, show stars Alex Murphy and Chris Walley will be live in the studio.

The lads will reflect on growing up playing their characters over the last 10 years and why the show has stayed a hit with fans for its sharp wit, big heart and unmistakable Irish charm.
