Young Boy from Co Tyrone Makes TV Debut on RTE’s Late Late Toy Show
A young boy from Co Tyrone stole the spotlight on RTE’s Late Late Toy Show, captivating the audience with his infectious energy and talent. 11-year-old Brian Óg mesmerized viewers as he painted a vivid picture of Christmas morning, describing the joy of finding a karaoke machine under the tree. According to the Irish Mirror, his performance touched hearts as he led the crowd in a sing-along of Nathan Carter’s hit song, Wagon Wheel.
A Magical Evening of Entertainment
The annual Late Late Toy Show, hosted by Dundrum comedian Patrick Kielty, drew in hundreds of thousands of viewers, both young and young at heart. This year’s theme, inspired by the classic movie Home Alone, set the stage for a night filled with laughter, music, and surprises. Kielty’s own children, however, missed out on watching their father on screen, as they would have had to skip school to attend the live filming in Donnybrook.
The show kicked off with a bang, showcasing the talents of talented young performers who dazzled the audience with their song and dance routines. Viewers were treated to a special guest appearance by Dublin singer Jazzy, who left toy tester Dory speechless with her performance on stage.
Giving Back to the Community
Amidst the festive cheer, the Late Late Toy Show also highlighted the importance of giving back to those in need. The RTÉ Toy Show Appeal, in collaboration with Community Foundation Ireland, aims to support children and families by funding essential initiatives related to health, wellbeing, play, and creativity. Over the years, this initiative has raised an impressive €21.3 million, providing support to 302 different charities and granting 492 projects.
Last year alone, the Toy Show Appeal supported 127 children’s charities, making a positive impact on over 1.1 million lives annually. The public can contribute to this noble cause by visiting www.rte.ie/toyshowappeal or using the official donation partner, Revolut Pay.
