RT\u00c9 have announced a stacked line-up for this Friday\u2019s special Late Late Show, closing out the season with Irish pop superstars Westlife<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The flagship RT\u00c9<\/a> chat show will finish up for the summer this Friday after a season of incredible interviews, musical acts and special moments on screen.<\/p>\n

Throughout the last few months viewers have seen a brave Epstein survivor open up to Patrick<\/a>, Majella O’Donnell speaking of her mental health struggles<\/a>, some country music specials<\/a> and much more.<\/p>\n

Now, to celebrate the last show of the season, Westlife return to the Late Late Show<\/a> studio to take a full trip down memory lane. Shane Filan, Kian Egan and Nicky Byrne will perform not one, not two, but three of their biggest hits, along with a surprise collaboration nobody knew they needed.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ll chat to Patrick about gearing up for their 3Arena residency this September, share some hilarious fan\u2011encounter stories and soak up the nostalgia. Plus, one Westlife superfan will go head\u2011to\u2011head with the lads in a quiz to find out who really knows the band best.<\/p>\n
