Ryan Tubridy led tributes to cervical cancer campaigner Vicky Phelan on the Late Late Show on Friday night, leaving heartbroken viewers "in tears."
Brave Vicky passed away on Monday aged 48, and she was laid to rest in a private funeral yesterday with her close family and friends in attendance. At the start of Friday night's show, a visibly moved Ryan Tubridy gave a speech about Vicky's bravery and the "impact she had on this country and women and on families and on the system".
He said: "Before we do anything else tonight, let me and let us remember Vicky Phelan. I mentioned this during the week but I’m going to say it again because some people are simply too alive to die, and Vicky Phelan was one such person.
