It's exactly two months until Christmas Eve!
One of our favourite things about the festive season is sitting down by the fire and watching the Late Late Toy Show and this year's production is set to be bigger than ever before.
It's been revealed that producers are seeking Ireland's best young performers for the "biggest Toy Show opening ever".
The show's producer Katherine Drohan revealed: “This year’s opening number is the most ambitious we have ever staged. More than 60 students from IADT Dun Laoghaire are working on special pieces to feature in the opening of the show.
"Sworn to secrecy, these students have been working tirelessly on the project for weeks now. The giant characters they are creating will be an integral part of an opening that will stretch the limits of The Late Late Toy Show studio and the imagination”.
The show is touring the country over the coming days to find dancers, singers and musicians to take part in the opening sequence.
Host Ryan Tubridy says he's very excited to be hitting the road again.
“I am tremendously excited to be taking the show on the road again. We did this for the first time last year and we uncovered some hidden gems that we really wouldn’t have discovered had we not taken the Toy Show to them.
“Their contribution to last year’s show was immense. There is so much untapped talent in this country and I’m really looking forward to getting out there and finding it".
This year's Late Late Toy Show takes place on Friday, December 2nd. You can apply for tickets here.
