Imelda May and Glen Hansard will also be on to talk about the famous busk on Grafton Street for the Simon Community and how they are bringing a flavour of it to a wider audience on Christmas in Ireland with Imelda May and Friends on Sky Arts.

Glen will share about his experience of fatherhood and how it has changed him, and Imelda will chat about acting, touring and coming home for Christmas.

Glen and Imelda will join forces to perform two special duets, including their take on the classic Fairytale of New York.

In another festive number, Glen will also reunite with Markéta Irglová as they both perform their Academy Award winning song, Falling Slowly, 15 years after its release.

Comedian, writer and actor Seán Burke will bring viewers a very special Late Late Show Christmas Carol.

And TikTok sensation and new Blue Peter presenter Joel M will join Ryan and the audience for a madcap mixture of magic and illusion.
