In a surprising turn of events, a scheduled guest for Friday night’s episode of The Late Late Show has pulled out last minute. The individual’s decision has caused quite a stir among the show’s fans and the media, prompting RTE to release a statement addressing the situation. While the reason behind the guest’s withdrawal has not been disclosed, speculations and rumors are already circulating. Stay tuned as we bring you the latest updates and details about this developing story.
Alanna Quinn Idris, an 18-year-old who was blinded in one eye after being attacked on December 30th, 2021, was due to appear on Friday night’s Late Late Show in Ireland to discuss how her life changed that day, what it was like giving her victim impact statement in court and her long road to recovery. However, just days before the show, RTE released a statement confirming that Alanna would no longer be appearing on the show.
The Late Late Show is a highly popular talk show in Ireland and Alanna’s appearance was highly anticipated. Her story has captured the hearts of the nation and many were looking forward to hearing her speak about her experiences.
Alanna’s attack was a shocking and senseless act of violence that has had a profound impact on her life. Her decision to speak out and share her story with the public was brave and courageous. The fact that she was willing to appear on national television to tell her story speaks to her strength and determination.
While it is unfortunate that Alanna will no longer appear on the Late Late Show, her decision to share her story has already had a profound impact. It has brought attention to an important issue and helped to raise awareness of the devastating impact that violence can have on people’s lives.
Despite Alanna’s absence, the Late Late Show went ahead as planned with a number of other guests. Ireland rugby Grand Slam winners Dan Sheehan, Andrew Porter and Josh Van Der Flier joined host Ryan Tubridy in studio to talk about their historic victory and the surreal experiences they had as a team. Andrew also showed his support for Daffodil Day and the great work of the Irish Cancer Society.
PJ Kirby and Kevin Twomey, hosts of the hit podcast I’m Grand Mam, were also on the show to chat about how Paul Mescal begged to be on their show, Irish boys and their undying love for their mammies, and why they are fairly certain Michael Collins is a fan.
The Late Late Big Repair Challenge also featured on the show, with five passion projects being carefully selected and unveiled ahead of their beautiful restoration which will be revealed in the coming weeks.
English singer-songwriter Freya Ridings performed her newest single Weekends and Louth artist David Keenan sang his viral hit El Paso, providing a musical counterbalance to the serious issues discussed on the show.
The Late Late Show continues to be a popular platform for discussion and debate in Ireland. While Alanna’s appearance was missed, the show went ahead as planned and provided a valuable space for important conversations to take place.
In conclusion, the Late Late Show will go on without its scheduled guest this Friday night as RTE releases a statement addressing the situation. While the identity of the guest remains unknown, we can only hope that everything is resolved amicably and that the show continues to provide audiences with the entertaining and informative content they’ve come to expect. As always, we’ll be eagerly waiting to see who will be joining Ryan Tubridy on the Late Late couch in the weeks to come.
