1980s pop diva Sinitta will be performing, and will join Ryan for a chat about her own search for love, having recently appeared on Celebrity First Dates. Comedian and broadcaster Doireann Garrihy, country singer Philomena Begley and presenter Eoghan McDermott will be doling out some advice to singletons in the audience. Viewers will also hear older couples explaining how they kept their love alive and what it means to stick with each other through thick and thin.

Seeing Allred
Friday, Netflix

Seeing Allred is the timely documentary about the notorious women's rights attorney Gloria Allred. Filmakers Sophie Sartain and Roberta Grossman follow Allred as she represents some of comedian Bill Cosby's accusers and supports clients such as Summer Zervos, the Apprentice contestant who accused Donald Trump of unwanted sexual advances.

The documentary examines the attorney’s divisive reputation; for some she is a determined warrior, a lightning rod of righteousness and justice, for others she is a hardened publicity seeker.
