RTE star Ryan Tubridy shares sweet letter from Late Late Toy Show fan

While the Late Late Toy Show is a favourite among children and adults, one seven-year-old’s love for the show managed to touch Ryan Tubridy enough for him to mention it on his social media.

The RTE star received a handwritten letter from seven-year-old Jay this week. Ryan said this was one of the many “thoughtful and kind” letters he received from kids across the country, and shared a photo of the letter on his Instagram.

“Dear Ryan,” it started. “My name is Jay and I am 7 years old. I am writing this letter to say well done doing such good work on the Toy Show. I loved it. The Toy Show makes me so happy.

“I stayed awake for all the Toy Show this year. The part with you singing was my favourite and when you were in the aeroplane it made me laugh.

The seven-year-old also expressed interest in joining the Toy Show and meeting his hero. "Maybe some year I might be on the Toy Show."

Jay also included a lovely drawing of a Christmas tree with a star topper.
