A young Co Tyrone boy has appeared on RTE's Late Late Toy Show.
11-year-old Brian Óg got the audience to close their eyes as he painted a vivid picture of waking up on Christmas morning and finding a karaoke machine under the Christmas tree, reports the Irish Mirror.
He then led the crowd into a sing-along of Nathan Carter's Wagon Wheel.

Hundreds of thousands of children, as well as hundreds of thousands of adult children, are gathering in front of televisions to witness the show hosted by Dundrum comedian Patrick Kielty. The theme of this year's Late Late Toy Show is Home Alone.
The Irish Mirror previously reported that the presenter explained his children wouldn't be watching their father present the show live from Donnybrook, as they would have to get the day off school to fly over.
It was a strong start to Friday night's proceedings as viewers were treated to a song and dance from some very impressive young performers. The first celeb surprise appearance of the night was from Dublin singer Jazzy who came out on stage to leave toy tester Dory speechless.
The Late Late Toy Show appeal opened during the show on Friday night. Working in collaboration with Community Foundation Ireland, the RTÉ Toy Show Appeal is back for its fifth year to improve the lives of children and their families by funding essential support, health, wellbeing, play, and creativity initiatives.
It has so far raised €21.3m and has provided support to 302 different charities and given 492 grants over that time. It supported 127 different children’s charities last year alone and is estimated to have helped over 1.1 million annually since its inception.
The public can donate by going to www.rte.ie/toyshowappeal, or with the appeal’s official donation partner Revolut Pay.
