Kenneth Branagh and Kathryn Thomas are among guests set to appear on this week’s Late Late Show

Kenneth Branagh, one of the world's most acclaimed filmmakers, directors, and actors, will join Ryan Tubridy from a London studio to talk about his new movie ‘Belfast’.

The film, which stars Jamie Dornan and Catriona Balfe, is set to land in Irish cinemas on January 21st.

Ryan will also be joined by Operation Transformation leaders and presenter Kathryn Thomas.

They will discuss how they take a giant leap forward to refocus their health and wellness goals for the year ahead.

It comes following weeks of public debate about whether or not the show should be decommissioned.

Also joining Ryan is former Head Coach with Galway United Football Club Lisa Fallon.

She recently took up a top position as High-Performance Consultant in FIFA and will chat on the show about her extraordinary career, being a female in a male-dominated industry.

She is also set to discuss how a serious assault on her as a young woman has shaped her view of the world.

Music will be provided by Eleanor McEvoy and friends performing ‘Only a Woman's Heart’.

The Late Late Show airs on RTÉ One, Friday, January 21st at 9:35 pm
