Rosie has been keeping fans up-to-date on how she has been settling into life in Ireland.
The popular TV personality has been making the most of her move to Dublin by watching the Six Nations, exploring other counties and even taking the Dart!
And tonight, Rosie is set to take a seat on the Late Late Show couch where it’s expected she will further discuss the motivation behind her move.
The mum-of-five will also be marking a major milestone on the show tonight as it is also her birthday.
Sharing a photo of a beautiful bouquet of flowers on Instagram, Rosie told fans about the busy day ahead of her and expressed her gratitude for being booked on the show.
Rosie wrote: “I am 63 today. Happy birthday to me; I have a full schedule today from now until midnight.
“Friends have flown in, the cake is made I’ve got my outfit chosen
for the Late Late Show tonight.”
She told her fans that she started watching Kielty’s work on Wednesday, after she found out she was booked for the show.
She added: “Charming man – smart and funny. I am thrilled to have been invited.”
She shared that “it’s been a while” since she appeared on a talk show, at home or abroad.
Rosie explained: “Can’t recall which one I last did. Tonight will be different as its in Ireland – not the USA.
“I grew up watching and loving talk shows – Merv Griffin, Mike Douglas, Dinah Shore… [I] never missed an episode.
“I feel in love with stand up watching Phyllis Diller, Totie Fields – Joan Rivers all regulars – killing it at a time when women in comedy
was rare – unheard of truly.
SWEET TRIBUTE
“I can’t imagine how difficult [it was] for them to develop and deliver, yet they did – in the 60s – when women could not practice law – serve jury duty get birth control – get divorced [and] domestic violence reporting not a thing then.
“We women won’t go back; it was not great then for anyone other than the straight white men who want to run the place and sadly now do.”
Friends and fans all raced to the comedians comment section to wish her a Happy birthday and good luck on the show tonight.
Drag Race judge, Michelle Visage wrote: “We feel it all with you. HAPPIEST OF DAYS in Ireland.”
Fellow Drag Race judge, Ross Matthews remarked: “Love you always and forever. Happy birthday!!!”
Another fan added: “Ireland is bringing out your poetic side. Happiest of birthdays to a spring beauty. “
