James Corden teams up with Ed Sheeran on Carpool Karaoke for British Late Late Show

James Corden has confirmed Ed Sheeran will be his next Carpool Karaoke passenger when he brings his hit chat show to the UK.

Corden, 38, is gearing up for a British Late Late Show and has recruited a host of A-list names to mark the occasion.

David Beckham, Nicole Kidman, Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt, Russell Brand, Jennifer Hudson and Kit Harington will join the chat show host for three special episodes next week.

Harry Styles and Kings of Leon are also on board to provide the musical entertainment.

Sheeran will no doubt challenge Adele for the title of ‘Most Watched Carpool Karaoke’ when he joins Corden for a sing-along.

Sheeran will follow in the footsteps of Mariah Carey, Stevie Wonder, Sir Elton John, One Direction and Michelle Obama.

Speaking previously about the British spin-off, Corden said he wants to make it “memorable” for his UK fans.

“To bring The Late Late Show to the UK is a dream come true for me,” he said. “I'm incredibly proud of the show and we're going to do our best to make this week in London memorable.”

The three special episodes will screen 7-9 June at 10pm on Sky 1 and NOW TV, before airing a few hours later on Corden's American home of CBS.
