Saturday Night with Miriam Returns this weekend on RTÉ One

 

Miriam O’Callaghan returns with a brand new series of her hugely successful summer chat show, Saturday Night with Miriam, this Saturday July 9th on RTÉ One at 9.45pm.

Joining Miriam in studio this week will be the stars of the Euros 2016 – the legendary Irish football fans. Having won the hearts of the host nation and receiving an award for their “exemplary sportsmanship”, Miriam talks to some of the fans about their experience and how they managed to charm their way through the Euros.

 

Amongst the fans will be Louth teenager, Jamie Monaghan and his dad Philip, who will chat about their personal journey to the Euros this summer and being picked to accept the prestigious ‘Medaille de la Ville de Paris’ award on behalf of the Ireland fans at a special mayoral reception in France.

RTÉ newsreader Una O’Hagan and husband Colm Keane will join Miriam on the couch to discuss their new book ‘Animal Crackers’. They will also share their story about the tragic death of their only son, Sean in 2007.

Queen of Irish country music Philomena Begley will drop by to chat about receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award at the RTÉ Irish Country Music Awards last month. She will be joined by Cliona Hagan who picked up the award for Newcomer of the Year at the ICMAs. The pair will perform a duet – ‘Queen of the Silver Dollar’.

There will also be an exclusive performance from Irish dance phenomenon ‘Riverdance’.

To celebrate the return of her summer chat show this weekend RTÉ Player gets up close and personal with Miriam to find out what makes her tick. During the quick-fire Q&A she reveals who she’d choose to play her in a movie of her life, her celebrity crush, the worst outfit she’s ever worn and her tipple of choice.

Check out One-to-One with Miriam O’Callaghan below.
