The line up for the first Late Late Show of 2021 has been revealed for Friday's show.
Vicky Phelan will be telling viewers about her upcoming trip to the US for an experimental new treatment, and why she is preparing to risk spending six precious months away from her family in her fight to stay alive.

Meanwhile, host Ryan Tubridy will be joined by Paul Reid, the chief executive of the Health Service Executive, for an up-to-the-minute assessment of how our health system is coping under the impact of this latest surge in the Coronavirus pandemic and what the coming days and weeks will hold for anyone needing to access healthcare in Ireland.
