Here's how you could be in the Late Late Show audience this season
It won't be long before the Late Late Show is back on our TV screens and now avid fans have the chance to get involved.

Last season saw everyone from Steve Coogan to Rosie O'Donnell as well as Doireann Garrihy and Joe Duffy join Patrick on set.
Ahead of the return of the show, RTÉ have opened up applications for audience members for the coming season.

The couple wed in September 2012 at a ceremony in Rome and share two children together.
It has been speculated the presenter could return to his hometown of Co Down following the demise of his marriage, with Patrick previously based in the UK with his family.
An insider told 'Pat is a bit all over the place at the moment, as anyone naturally would be.
'He recently lost his mother, now his marriage to Cat has ended, and the Late Late Show hasn't exactly been the ratings winner that he would have hoped.'
'So there is talk that he is strongly contemplating coming back to Ireland, at least for a while.'
