Late Late Toy Show hero Adam King has stolen the hearts of the nation ever since his appearance on the festive celebration back in November.
His 'virtual hug' was a great tonic during lockdown and saw the mood of the country lifted.
And after a busy couple of weeks which saw his message blasted into space and a standing ovation at an Aslan gig in Killarney, Adam and his family headed north for an enjoyable staycation across Northern Ireland.
Alongside his brothers Danny and Robert, his sisters Katie and Sarah, and with Mum Fiona and Dad David, the inspirational schoolboy recently set off on a staycation full of adventures in Northern Ireland.
He managed to fit in an action-packed agenda of accessible friendly activities.
The Titanic Experience in Belfast, the Armagh Observatory and the Mourne Mountains were all checked off the list for the space-mad Corkonian.
Adam’s dad David commented on the families experience: “Overall this was such a brilliant short break which we would highly recommend. On every level, for children and adults of all ages, Northern Ireland has it all.
"We would like to say a big thank you to our friends in Tourism Northern Ireland for looking after us so well on the trip!”
The six-year-old had already captured the hearts of the nation with his virtual hug after he appeared on the RTE programme last year.
That message has now received an out of this world reaction after it rocketed into space in July
The Cork boy harbours dreams of joining a space mission and working for Mission Control when he grows up.
His dad David shared a video online praising Virgin Galactic for launching the message into the atmosphere.
