Ryan Tubridy was holding back tears as he dedicated his final show as host of the Late Late Show to his family.
The episode had multiple highlights, from a thought-provoking interview with President Higgins to U2 giving the host a red Vespa as a gift and PJ Gallagher driving into the studio with it, to Saoirse Ronan and Tubridy’s idol Paul McCartney sending him video messages.
Charlie Bird made an emotional speech which reduced viewers to tears, and Ryan met Adam King and Saoirse Ruane, the girl who started off the Late Late Toy Show appeal, which so far has raised €18m. Also, Jedward made a surprise appearance which was the highlight of the event for some fans.
