Michael Bublé convinces Ryan Tubridy to sing with him on Late Late Show

Michael Bublé convinced Ryan Tubridy to sing with him on The Late Late Show - see if Tubs matched up to the Grammy-winner's smooth vocals.

The Canadian singer, who has sold over 75 million albums worldwide, joined Ryan Tubridy for the last time on RTÉ One's Late Late Show on Friday night.

Following in Ed Sheeran's footsteps on last week's show, Bublé brought a present for Tubridy, although the Feeling Good singer's gifts were somewhat more practical - teabags, jellies and matching white shorts that featured pictures of Bublé and Tubridy.

While triumphantly sharing his offerings, Bublé said: "Matching shorts - think about that. You're gonna be here and I'm on tour in Thailand and I'll scratch my bum and think about you!"

Bublé then presented Tubridy with one of his favourite microphones and cajoled the host into singing We'll Meet Again, which was originally a hit in 1939 for Vera Lynn.

Between Sheeran's guitar and Bublé's microphone, maybe there's a new career on the horizon for Tubs after he presents his last Late Late Show later this month.

Earlier in the interview Bublé told Tubridy that his family have "been through hell with my son's health" but five years on, with his son Noah fully recovered from liver cancer, he's the happiest he has ever been.

He said: "I think that love is expensive and all of us will go through our life and all of us will suffer. All of us will feel lost. And what's weird is when we feel that and when things get tougher, we might lose somebody that we love for, or we go through sickness or even in challenging times in our life, there's two routes, we walk out and really there's two routes. You either walk out and be bitter or angry or we walk out and we find a way to find the joy and goodness in life, to err on the side of joy."

Bublé will play two sold-out gigs this Saturday and Sunday at Dublin's 3Arena.
