It’s the telly highlight of the festive season, and we are counting down the hours until the Late Late Toy Show kicks off on RTÉ.
Every year, there is a unique and charming theme to the show – and this year is set to be a real corker.
The 2016 Late Late Toy Show is taking its inspiration from none other than The Jungle Book!
Each child participating on the show will be host Ryan Tubridy’s ‘jungle VIP’, with a whopping 72 performers delivering the show’s sure-to-be-magical opening number.
Rumour has it that Ryan’s costume for the night is ‘a sight to behold’, and the presenter can barely contain his delight.
“I am tremendously excited that we are doing The Jungle Book this year. It’s a great classic, a real family favourite and something which I think everyone can enjoy whether they’re young or old, boy or girl,” he said.
Looking ahead to the big show, the father-of-two added: “I may not be the king of the singers, but I hope that for a couple of hours tonight people will get a chance to settle down with the family and forget about all their worries and their strife.”
Over 320 children from all over the country are set to play special roles in tonight’s show, with all toys featured being donated to charity afterwards.
Enjoy the show, mums!
