Late Late Toy Show opens participation to children outside Ireland for first time ever

The Late Late Toy Show is one of Ireland's most popular family shows, and for the first time ever it's opening participation worlwide.

Hosted by Ryan Tubridy, the annual show in the lead up to Christmas has become a phenomenon not only at home but across the world, as it brings joy to Irish families across all continents.

Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic across the world, many Irish families have not been able to see their loved ones who live in other countries.

So RTE have opened the chance to participate to young people worldwide, and to be in with a chance they must apply by the deadline on Monday, September 28.

Ryan Tubridy said: "To all the children, the Irish children particularly around the world, this is your year because for the first time in Toy Show history, we're going global.

"We're going to invite children from around the world to take part for one very special performance. It's been a tough year for you, we know, and I know there's a lot of grandparents, lots of aunties, lots of uncles who are back home and they miss you very, very much and they'd love to see you on the Toy Show.

"We're looking for international singers and international dancers to audition."

If you have a young family member who has what it takes to be a part of the Late Late Toy Show - and it doesn't matter whether they're in Ireland or abroad - you can apply at www.rte.ie/latelate.
