Brace yourself. It's coming up to that cupid time of the year and The Late Late Show is planning another Valentine's special.

Last year’s Late Late Show Valentine’s special drew more than a few complaints but went down a storm with more than 573,000 people watching Ryan Tubridy play matchmaker and see controversial columnist Katie Hopkins jokingly propositioned by an audience member.

There was some speculation that members of the audience were a little bit worse the wear for drink on the night - RTÉ vehemently denied that they'd been overly generous with the hooch - though there's no doubt everyone was in high spirits (so to speak).

Katy Hopkins, in particular, got a few lessons in the suave art of Irish male courtship with the irresistible offer from one giddy audience member Maaaark who said "I'd ride ya".

But for many viewers the highlight was when Ryan asked Irish rugby legend Ronan O'Gara about his proudest achievement, his record points haul or raising five children under the age of 6 with his wife Jessica.

His response was, well, an absolute top-drawer jaw-dropper. Look away now.
