Adam King teases 'amazing' announcement as Toy Show star gets all dressed up

Adam King will be part of something 'amazing' in the very near future.

The Late Late Toy Show star and creator of the 'Virtual Hug' that helped thousands of people during Covid-19 lockdown teased the announcement on social media on Saturday evening.

"We did something really amazing today....we can't wait to tell you about it soon." a tweet read, with a few cheeky emojis thrown in.

Accompanied with the tweet was a snap of the man himself looking very smart, as he was sharply dressed in a waistcoat and tie.

Adam was also adorned with a special piece of jewellery.

His family announced last week that their first charity initiative of 2022 would be supporting Temple Street, via a unique 'Hug for You' range of jewellery.

They said: "In our 1st charity initiative of 2022 we are delighted to support Temple Street in bringing you a range of bespoke virtual hug jewellery! If you want to capture #adamsvirtualhug in a timeless way - now you can!

Adam has stolen the hearts of the nation ever since his appearance on the festive celebration back in November of 2020.

His 'virtual hug' was a great tonic during lockdown and saw the mood of the country lifted.

The Cork boy harbours dreams of joining a space mission and working for Mission Control when he grows up.
