PICK OF THE DAY

THE LATE LATE SHOW, 9.35PM, RTÉ ONE

IN previous years the Late Late Show’s Valentine’s special has provoked some outrage from the more easily shocked viewing population as an audience of sometimes rowdy singletons takes part in an annual mating ritual that usually involves a Blind Datestyle segment, plenty of double entendres, generally raucous carry-on and a plethora of opportunities to embarrass host Ryan Tubridy (right). Tonight’s guests, including Vogue Williams, hubby Spencer Matthews, Kenneth Branagh and Mickey Joe Harte, may end up taking second billing to the shenanigans of the love-struck crowd who are often the real stars of this annual special.
