She will be in studio to help launch something very special, chat to Patrick about the ever-growing popularity of country music in Ireland, how proud she felt being a finalist on Celebrity Bear Hunt and treat viewers to a live musical performance.

Andrew Trimble, former Irish International and Ulster Rugby player, will be joining Patrick to talk about Ireland's chances in the Six Nations and the lasting impact rugby has had on his life and his identity.
