Support Irish, Tubridy urges at Toy Show

The countdown to Santa’s arrival officially got under way last night with the annual screening of the ever popular Late Late Toy Show.

Around the country families huddled around the fireside to watch presenter Ryan Tubridy and his band of small helpers demonstrate what’s hot and what’s not in the world of toys.

Bedecked in the now compulsory seasonal woolly jumpers, he initially introduced the show wearing one with a snowboarding Santa emblazoned on the front. That was quickly changed, though, into a elf-style one with buttons and buckle.
