Alanna Quinn Idris pulls out of Late Late Show appearance tonight as RTE issue statement to explain

The young woman whose attacker was jailed for four and a half years earlier this week will no longer appear as a guest on tonight's RTE Late Late Show.

Alanna Quinn Idris, who was left blind in one eye after an attack in 2021, was due to chat to Ryan about the sentence handed down to Darragh Lyons on Thursday and her day to day life since the incident.

However, RTE have now confirmed Alanna will not appear on the show in a late change to the line-up.

RTE released a statement regarding the 18-year-old's cancelled appearance: "Update to this week's Late Late Show line up: Alanna Quinn Idris will no longer appear on tomorrow night's Late Late Show."

The rest of the line-up remains as announced with Ireland rugby Grand Slam winners Dan Sheehan, Andrew Porter and Josh Van Der Flier taking to the sofa after a week of celebrations.

PJ Kirby and Kevin Twomey, news on the Late Late Big Repair Challenge, Freya Ridings and David Keenan will also feature on Friday night.

Following a successful Six Nations campaign, Dan Sheehan, Andrew Porter and Josh van der Flier will join Ryan in studio to fill him in on the days of celebrations that followed Saturday’s historic victory and why the night before the game was one of the most surreal experiences they’ve ever had as a team. Andrew will also be supporting Daffodil Day and the great work of the Irish Cancer Society.

As they celebrate the 100th episode of their hit podcast, I'm Grand Mam's PJ Kirby and Kevin Twomey will be on the couch 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.

Laura DeBarra is back for The Late Late Big Repair Challenge. Five passion projects were carefully selected and will be unveiled on the show ahead of their beautiful restoration which will be revealed in the coming weeks.

Plus, there will be music from English singer-songwriter Freya Ridings, who will perform her newest single Weekends and Louth artist David Keenan will sing his viral hit El Paso.
