The Dean Strang love has begun in earnest again. The defence attorney, who proved such a hit with viewers on the popular Netflix documentary series, Making a Murderer, is to appear on Saturday night's Ray D'Arcy show and fans are very excited.

For the thousands of Irish viewers who got hooked on the series, it will be a first opportunity to get an insight from one of key players in a case that has gripped the world. He may also have a few choice words to say about the Manitowoc County police and prosecutor Ken Kratz who's been making some rather bizarre statements recently.

Despite the outcome of the case against Steven Avery, Strang and his co-defence attorney Jerome Buting have continued to speak up on behalf of their client and the pair have won a devoted following around the world following the release of the Netflix series.

And Irish fans have barely been able to contain their excitement ahead of his Irish TV debut.

Irish viewers in particular will be curious to learn more about the sculpture of two hurlers that appeared behind Strang during interviews in the ten-part series.

Yes that was a hurling sculpture behind him

He recently told the Daily Edge, "It is a hurling statue, not a trophy. I have a dear friend, a wonderful criminal defence lawyer in Milwaukee who is a first-generation Irish American from the south side of Chicago. He gave it to me some years ago as a gift. I treasure it, as I do his friendship."

In bit of a coup for The Ray D'Arcy Show, former Celebrity Big Brother contest and ex-wife of the late music legend David Bowie, Angie Bowie, will also be appearing on the show to give her first broadcast interview In Ireland following a tumultuous couple of weeks for her.

Meanwhile Hollywood superstars Kevin Hart and Ice Cube will be joining Ryan Tubridy on The Late Late Show this Friday night. The two men will be in studio to talk about teaming up again for the US box office hit comedy Ride Along 2.

The pair have also been vocally critical of the Oscars' Academy which has found itself embroiled in a huge row and witnessed boycotts from big-name stars over the apparent lack of diversity in the nominations for this year's Oscars.

There will also be an appearance by actor James Nesbitt, who will be discussing his new show, Lucky Man, and as well as the new series of Cold Feet, the programme that first gave him his big break.

Former world champion boxer Chris Eubank will also be in studio to discuss life outside the ring.
