With the countdown to this year's Late Late Toy Show well under way, Ryan Tubridy has told fans of all things festive that this year's heart-warmer is "probably going to be the biggest one we've ever done".
The Late Late Show team have been at work on the 2018 extravaganza for quite some time, and Tubridy promised listeners to his RTÉ Radio 1 show on Friday that he would be cranking up the excitement in the near future.
"It's going to be huge," he said. "It is going to be particularly enormous. And I look forward to that."
On Friday's programme, Tubridy also shared his excitement about the Late Late's upcoming live show from London in October, describing it as "a night to remember", "a massive celebration" and "a cultural reaction to Brexit, if you want to call it that".

"We're going to broadcast the Late Late Show from this magnificent place in London, which I'll tell you about another time," he teased. "But it's there; we've started to book guests already for it."
"The point of it is to say that, while Brexit is very damaging between our two countries economically, we have too much going on between us culturally and socially to let those binds untie," Tubridy continued.
The host said the Late Late was "reaching out in the truest sense of the word" by bring the show to London.
He added that the London special's message would be to say: "Look, don't mind that. Annoying and all as it is, and important and all as it is, the Brexit thing. We still have too much not to be friends and allies and acquaintances and business partners."
