Corden has been filming the show at home from his garage in past weeks amid the coronavirus lockdown.

Recently the actor and presenter fought back tears on live television, admitting he's often "overwhelmed with sadness" amid the pandemic.

"I've found it tougher than I ever thought I would," he said.

"I've found myself having these incredible spikes of anxiety and sadness when I've allowed myself to think about my family back home in England, or my friends or the people I love."
