PIERS MORGAN IS gonna be a guest on the Late Late Show this week.

The Daily Mail columnist, former tabloid editor, and former CNN Talk Show host will join Ryan for a chinwag on Friday… and he’s only delighted about it.

OK, big news Ireland. I'm coming home.

See you live on @RTELateLateShow with Ryan Tubridy, this Friday night.

But what does he mean he’s Irish?

@piersmorgan @RTELateLateShow Home? Just a reminder that you were born in East Sussex.

To all those claiming you can't be Irish if you were born in England, two words:

Shane MacGowan.

Um, ok.

But wait, Piers DOES have a bit of Irish in him. A lot, actually. According to Irish Central, Piers was born as Piers O’Meara to an dad from Co. Offaly. His dad died when he was one, and his mum remarried a Welshman, leaving him the Piers Morgan he is today.

No, I'm Irish because my father was Irish > RT @SarahAnne1964 @piersmorgan you're Irish when its convenient
