Lucy Kennedy and Martin King will be breaking away from Ballymount to take Late Lunch Live to The Gibson Hotel for a Christmas special. The Late Lunch Live hosts will be joined by the programme’s hilarious roving reporter Claire Solan plus an array of celebrity guests.
The Gibson Hotel in Dublin is the perfect venue for the show with its very own Christkindlmarkt; a festive food lover’s paradise with everything from hog roasts to waffle lolly pops on offer.
With the usual mix of food, chat and laughter, the guys will welcome a heavenly host of guests including the three wise men, Derek Davis, Paolo Tullio and Jimmy Magee, our very own Christmas singing star Mary Byrne, Dublin sporting superstar and ladies favourite, Bernard Brogan and the angelic television presenter and former model Pamela Flood.
The Late Lunch Live team will also welcome the oldest choir in Ireland, the collective talent of St. Patrick’s Cathedral boys’ choir who will keep the festive magic flowing throughout the show.
As well as celebrities and Christmas carols, this Christmas special will also be looking ahead at what’s going to kick off royally in Soapland on Christmas Day with resident soap reviewer ShowPal’s Olive Geoghegan. There’ll be lashings of festive food courtesy of Late Lunch Live favourite Andrew Rudd plus Santa will be taking a quick break from his preparations to have a chat with Lucy and talk to some of the visiting children.
As it’s Late Lunch Live, expect some Christmas cocktails and festive mayhem but above all else peace and goodwill to all viewers.
Have a very happy Christmas with Late Lunch Live on Monday 23rd December at 2.30pm.
