RTE Late Late Toy Show applications for this year's show are now open

Applications for this year's RTE Late Late Toy Show are now open.

Have you always dreamed of appearing on Ireland's most iconic Christmas programme? Well, this year could be your time to shine.

Host Ryan Tubridy is once again on the hunt to find some charismatic kids to join him this Christmas as they review the latest toys, tech and books, along with some special performances from talented children and maybe a star or two.

The announcement was made during this morning's Ryan Tubridy Show on RTÉ Radio 1 , as Ryan confirmed the popular show would return on Friday, November 25.

He told listeners: "We are going to go large this year! I had a great chat about it last week, and it's going to be very, very special indeed."

To mark the opening of Toy Show applications, Toy Show star DJ Callum joined Ryan to update him on life since his DJ debut last November, his Jenny Greene gig in the Iveagh Gardens, and how his career is shaping up.

After supporting DJ Jenny Greene at her Iveagh Gardens show during the summer, Calum said he had been kept busy.

After impressing fans with his DJ skills, the youngster has been inundated with calls to perform at "communions, confirmations, even 21sts, weddings".

Finally offering up some advice for anyone hoping to appear on the show this year, he said: "Just be yourself. Take your time. Have fun. And practice and make sure your video is ok!

"Even just a half an hour, fifteen minutes a day – that's all it takes."
