It's Late Late Toy Show day! So, why is Ryan Tubridy crying?

Ryan: 'I'm not ashamed to admit that it really did stop me in my tracks and I was overcome with emotion'

The essential Late Late Toy Show kit normally consists of popcorn, hot chocolate, and maybe even an advance tub of Heroes or Quality Street — but a box of tissues or a very large monogrammed handkerchief might be added to that list now too. 

Ryan Tubridy has already had the waterworks on the go: he says he was brought to tears when he previewed a collaboration of groups of children from across the globe singing Rule the World.
