Billie Eilish has reflected on what it was like making her TV debut on The Late Late Show with James Corden six years ago.
The music superstar returned to the British TV star’s series for his final week on the CBS talk show.
Showing a picture of the singer aged 15 on the show, Corden, 44, asked her what she remembered about that day, to which she admitted she felt anxious.
The now-21-year-old shared: “I remembered that I was very nervous. I was very sick. I was sick for many years, I feel like. Everything I did I was sick.
“My voice was kind of messed up and I was really nervous. I just wanted to do a good job.”
Assuring her of her debut, Corden responded with some kind words about her character: “You are exactly the same person that I met then in your core and in your person.”
Her appearance comes as the TV presenter is set to close a major life chapter later this week as he hosts his final episode of the US talk show.
The show helped launch the actor’s career stateside and has seen him rub shoulders with countless Hollywood stars.
It has been Corden’s most successful onscreen venture and his departure comes after more than eight years at the helm.
His final show will take place on Thursday April 27, with former One Direction star Harry Styles and Will Ferrell confirmed to be taking part.
Airing every weekday night, The Late Late Show is billed as “the ultimate late night after party”, and features a mix of celebrity guests, musical acts, games and sketches.
Since stepping into the role as host in March 2015, Corden has put his own stamp on the programme through popular segments including Spill Your Guts Or Fill Your Guts and Carpool Karaoke.
The latter sees him sing in the car alongside stars and has featured some of the biggest names in the music business, including Sir Paul McCartney, Adele, Billie Eilish, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Justin Bieber and more.
Announcing his departure from The Late Late Show almost exactly a year ago, Corden said the decision had been “really hard” but he was “immensely proud” of the programme.
“When I started this journey it was always going to be just that, a journey, an adventure,” he said. “I never saw it as my final destination and I never want this show to overstay its welcome.
“I love making it and I really think in a year from now that will be a good time to move on and see what’s out there.”
Following his departure from the show, Corden has said he plans to return to the UK to spend more time with his family.
