The loveliest moment from the best Toy Show in years

Domhnall meets his hero. HIS LITTLE FACE.

The loveliest moment from the best Toy Show in years

If you were one of the half a dozen people in the country not watching The Late Late Toy Show on Friday night, you missed a cracker.

Host Ryan Tubridy didn't put a foot wrong for the night, from the Mary Poppins-themed opening number to his assured banter with a parade of charming kids.

Enjoy? We did, a lot. Cringe? We did not.

Anyway, we're late to the party on this but undoubtedly the highlight of the night was eight-year-old Domhnall O'Confhaola meeting his hero, Robbie Keane.

With over 260,000 YouTube views since Friday night, Domhnall is a bona fide viral sensation.

The second class pupil from Rosmuc in Co Galway, who was on the show to review FIFA 14 for X Box and had no idea Robbie was backstage, became an instant hit after being stuck for words when Robbie came out from backstage.

Domhnall, who admits he has a reputation for being a chatter box, told the Ray D'Arcy show on Today FM it was a first for him to be left speechless.
