Last Friday saw the whole of Ireland tune in for the festive tradition of The Late Late Toy Show on RTE One with Ryan Tubridy - one of the biggest events in the Irish television calendar.
If you’ve never seen the show, it’s essentially two and a half hours of kids playing with new toys and games that are on sale this Christmas. It also combines personal and heartwarming stories and celebrity guests such as Ed Sheeran, who appeared on this year’s edition.
Perhaps the highlight of this year’s show involved two young boys named Callum and Fergal. Callum, an aspiring young DJ, had earlier appeared on the show alongside his younger brother, Jackson, who were gifted some brand new kits to help kickstart their DJing careers.
While 10-year-old Fergal’s talent spoke for itself, it was possibly Callum’s reaction behind the singer that stole the show as he was clearly as stunned as the rest of us.
I don’t think the DJ expected Ave Maria in da club 😂 #LateLateToyShow pic.twitter.com/2CeNS5iRhx

It really didn’t take long for the clip to go viral with everyone loving Fergal’s singing as well as Callum’s priceless reaction.

A round of applause for both Fergal and Callum.
The entire show, which has a Lion King theme, is now available to watch (including the UK) on RTE Player.
