Ahead of the final Late Late Show of the current season on Friday night, host Ryan Tubridy has revealed that the theme for this year's Late Late Toy Show has already been decided.
In a Facebook live session on Thursday, Tubridy said: "We're already planning our Toy Show for next year, would you believe. It's not even next year - it's this year! We even have a theme."
Tubridy then asked viewers did they want to know the theme before dashing their hopes by saying: "Nah, never going to happen!"
Dallas star Linda Gray will join Tubridy on the last show of the season on Friday.
Gray played former beauty queen Sue Ellen, the long-suffering, vodka-swilling wife of oily oil baron JR Ewing in the Eighties soap which became a global phenomenon. She will share her memories of her time on the show and what it was like to be a TV icon.

Gray, who is now 75, starred on the show for its entire run from 1978 to 1991 and she will also talk about returning to Southfork for the short-lived Dallas comeback in 2012. The actress won rave reviews for playing Mrs Robinson in The Graduate on the London stage and, interestingly, Gray's legs - and not Anne Bancroft's - featured in the poster for the original movie of The Graduate in 1967.

She will also talk about how life imitated art as she struggled to break free from marriage to an emotionally abusive husband and how the loss of her great friend Larry Hagman, the man behind JR Ewing, is still keenly felt.

Friday night's show will also feature football legends Eamon Dunphy and John Giles, The Sawdoctors, dance act ProdiJIG, the stars of the stage show Billy Elliot and a 'state of the nation' address from comedian Oliver Callan. Tubridy has said viewers can look forward to "a lot of messing".
When asked during the Facebook session for his personal highlights from the current season, Tubridy selected the country music special, the "bonkers" dating show for Valentine's Day, Richard Gere's appearance in February, Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg's interview and, naturally, the Toy Show.
