People LOVED the opening of The Late Late Toy Show

This year’s theme for the Toy Show was the Jungle Book, and everyone was eager to see how Ryan and Co. would open the show, writes Steve Neville.
Ryan had described the Jungle Book "personal favourite" and with the nation waiting, it did not disappoint.
The #LateLateToyShow gets underway with Be Like You and Bare Necessities from Jungle Book with Ryan as Baloo! https://t.co/HAL8Q24qpf

And with the Jungle Book theme, there was really only one character Ryan could play.
Brilliant.
