Big kid Ryan Tubridy plans a Christmas tale as old as time for Late Late Toy Show

Ryan Tubridy has revealed that his daughters inspired the theme of tonight’s Late Late Toy Show.

“Beauty and the Beast is the theme,” he says. “This idea was conceived from multiple viewings of the movie at home and then after the show last year we were sitting, having a few glasses of 7Up, and I explained I had an idea for the next theme.

“I went through how I saw it all in my head and they [RTÉ executives] said: ‘We’ll think about it, thank you for that.’ ”
