Iconic US celebrity chat and music programme The Late Late Show will be broadcast from London for three nights next week

James Corden has enlisted Ed Sheeran for a special Carpool Karaoke as he exports The Late Late Show to the UK for three episodes filmed in London.

The featured guests on the show, which will be broadcast on Sky 1, will include Nicole Kidman, David Beckham, Emily Blunt, Tom Cruise, Jennifer Hudson, Kit Harington, Sir Ben Kingsley, Russell Brand and Anthony Joshua, with musical performances from Harry Styles and Kings of Leon.

A feature of the three shows will be Ed Sheeran appearing in the phenomenally successful Carpool Karaoke, which has featured Michelle Obama, Adele and Lady Gaga in the US version, which has amassed nearly three billion views on YouTube since it premiered in March 2015.

Adam MacDonald, Director of Sky 1 said: “I was already so excited about James bringing The Late Late Show to London, but the team have assembled an all-star line-up beyond my wildest dreams for our three very special episodes.”

The special episodes of The Late Late Show will screen from June 7-9 on Sky 1.
