Conor McGregor left many viewers feeling cold after a preview of his interview on this Friday's The Late Late Show was released.

In the clip, the MMA icon can be heard describing a recent incident where he was caught using a homophobic slur as an example of people throwing him 'under a bus.'

'I meant no disrespect to nobody of the LGBT community,' the clip shows.

'I didn’t mean no disrespect.'

'You’d swear I was screaming at two people of the same sex kissing.'

Twitter have reacted en masse to the apology, and many feel it simply isn't good enough:

Conor McGregor has apologised for using a homophobic slur in a recent viral video, insisting he mean no “disrespect” to the LGBT community.

In a pre-recorded interview due to be aired on The Late Late Show this Friday, the MMA star tells Ryan Tubridy that he is sorry for saying the word “f****t” and would like to try “move on from it.”

"I have to put my hands up there. I was whispering in his ear and I was speaking on that and I said what I said. I meant no disrespect to nobody of the LGBT community. I didn’t mean no disrespect.”

The Crumlin native went on to say how he had campaigned for a 'Yes' vote in the 2015 marriage referendum and argued that people just want to throw him “under the bus.”

“It is another one where things just get blown out and they love to just, any chance they get they love to throw me under the bus. It is what it is.”

“I’ll just say sorry for what I said and that’s it and try to move on from it.”

Understandably, many people were not satisfied by the seemingly uninspired apology, with some arguing that he didn't even realise the extent of his wrongdoing.

Cancel your plans – this Friday's Late Late Show is too good to miss.

In an Irish television exclusive, Ryan Tubridy will sit the down with the former US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton.

In what promises to be a “very engaging interview,” viewers will gain an interesting insight into the mind of the presidential candidate.

The wide-ranging interview touches on many topics including Hillary's love of Ireland, her presidential campaign, and of course, how it felt to lose the US presidency to businessman and reality TV star, Donald Trump.

“I would have been really unhappy if I had lost to a normal Republican. But to lose to someone who I believed profoundly was not ready for the job, was temperamentally unqualified for the job, was such a burden. I just thought 'I’ve just let everybody down, I’ve let my country down, I’ve let the world down. How did this happen?'”

Hillary will also discuss the potential dangers the Trump presidency presents to the world as well as the double standards faced by women in politics.

This unmissable interview airs on The Late Late Show, this Friday, September 29,  at 9.35pm on RTÉ One.

If there's one thing James Corden does better than any other chatshow host on the planet, it's the musical numbers.

Whether it's Carpool Karaoke or impromptu singalongs, the British star is an absolute pro when it comes to showcasing his vocal range.

And yet despite this indisputable talent, Liam Payne decided to challenge James to a riff-off on a recent episode of The Late Late Show.

After hearing that James had dared suggest that boy bands were better than solo stars, the former One DIrection member chose to lay down the gauntlet, and James accepted.

From Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC to Wham and Hanson, these two really go for it, and to be fair, they nail it.

Ladies, we'll let the two lads take it from here…

As the world comes to terms with the latest in a string of horrendous terrorist attacks on European soil, James Corden has acknowledged the feeling which many struggle with at a time when terrorist attacks are becoming frighteningly more commonplace.

James began the most recent episode of The Late Late Show with a heartfelt acknowledgement of the terrifying scenes which played out in Barcelona yesterday afternoon.

"When we hear about London or Paris or Stockholm and now Barcelona, you can almost start to become numb to it, like this is becoming something normal and we don’t need to talk about it here on our show," he said.

"But we think we mustn’t allow it to become something that’s normal. We must talk about it so we remember how sad, horrific, and tragic these moments are," James insisted.

"To the people of Barcelona, I just want to add to the rest of the world's outpouring of love and give our thoughts. We are thinking about the victims and their families right now on what must be an unimaginable day of horror for them," he continued.

James explained that his role is to bring light and levity to a "world where it is becoming often too hard to find."

Take a look at this.

Irish designer Paul Costello is facing criticism after his stunt on The Late Late Show last night, after the 71-year-old made some comments about women that some online viewers found offensive.

When asked for his opinion on certain topics, the designer made some odd comments about women, or 'great girls.'

The fashion designer, who has a popular collaboration range at Dunnes Stores, commented that Rod Stewart’s wife was 'a bit gawky,' and stated that she was 'trying too hard to be the second or third wife.'

When asked about Camilla Parker Bowles' sense of style, he commented that she was 'very small,' but that she was being advised well on how to dress. 

He also volunteered the information that he would 'definitely not swap' his wife for a chance with Camilla. He also referred to his wife as 'well bred.' 

When asked by Ryan what he meant by his reference to certain women being 'hatchets,' Paul replied: 'A hatchet is a lovely girl who you really love for maybe a couple of weeks and then you go, "Ciao bella,"' before saying that he was a pro-woman designer. 

He also said of his meeting with the late Princess Diana that he did not address her as a royal, but instead greeted her with a 'howaya honey, you're looking good.' 

'Let me see how you’re looking, honey,' he told Princess Diana at the time. 

He also referred to Victoria Beckham as a 'great little girl,' and said he believes she should 'smile a little more.'

He went on to compliment Kate Middleton on her 'great legs.' 

Twitter was quick to react to the designer's comments, with one user referring to them as 'obnoxious.'
