The Late Late Show with James Corden to return to UK with selection of A-list guests

James Corden is bringing The Late Late Show back to UK soil and the popular stateside's Carpool Karaoke feature will make an appearance too.

Lizzo will take to the streets to belt out her songs with the host, while studio guests will include huge names in the music industry, including Ed Sheeran and Billie Eilish.

The late night American talk show with it's British host will be filmed from the Freemasons’ Hall in London and the show is set to be broadcast from June 28 to July 1.

It's the first time The Late Late Show will be filmed in the UK in three years and the first time since the coronavirus pandemic.

Corden, 43, will also immerse himself in American Politics in his Take a Break segment, which will see him fill in as the assistant to President Joe Biden.

It will be the fourth time The Late Late Show With James Corden has filmed in the UK in total and will be his last after he confirmed his exit from the show earlier in the year.

In May, the actor-turned-presenter labelled his decision to exit as a "really hard" one to make, but something that has left him "really excited" for the future.

He will be leaving the position he has held for eight years and told ET 's Nischelle Turner at an event in Hollywood: "I just sort of felt like maybe we'd done enough? Maybe we'd done everything we wanted to do.

"When I took the job, firstly, I didn't think we'd be on the air, like, six months later. Then as soon as it seemed like we'd be on for a little while, I was very very determined that the show wouldn't over stay it's welcome in any way and that we would always know when to leave.

"That we'd always know when to go out on top, because I think that's really important."

His decision to quit the states has reportedly left cast and crew of Gavin and Stacey "clueless".

Alison Steadman admitted writers and stars James and Ruth Jones haven't provided them with any clues over possible new episodes.

Speaking to BBC Radio 4, Alison, who plays Pamela Shipman in the show, said: "Who knows? I do not know. Honestly I have no idea."
