IFTA award winning actress, Victoria Smurfit will be talking about working with Dame Jilly Cooper, Aidan Turner and David Tenant on hit guilty pleasure TV show Disney Plus' Rivals.

Eileen Walsh is in studio to chat with Patrick about her role in the hotly anticipated Small Things Like These. Adapted from Claire Keegan's novel of the same name, Eileen will share the story of a father who confronts the truth of one of Ireland's infamous Magdalene laundries. Playing opposite her good friend Cillian Murphy, Eileen will tell Patrick how their friendship goes back to the start of both their careers.
In true Halloween style, Jedward will banish any ghosts or ghouls from studio with a paranormal performance while Bambie Thug will perform their brand-new song Fangtasy ahead of their Irish tour dates.
