RTÉ has announced that the beloved Late Late Toy Show will make its highly anticipated return to screens across Ireland on Friday, December 6, 2024.
The national broadcaster has opened castings to children across Ireland to take to the mythical set and spread Christmas cheer.
Attendees will be able to demonstrate a toy or be a part of a performance in front of a live audience and for millions across the country.
To be eligible, children must apply with the assistance of a guardian via a portal on the RTÉ website before Wednesday, October 2.
They may enter the name of their legal guardian or teacher and select what they will be doing on the show.
The night is dubbed ‘the most magical night of the year’, where children are allowed to stay up past their usual bedtimes and host Patrick Kielty will return to present the show for the second time.
Last year, the Late Late Toy Show was the most-watched programme on Irish television. Kielty’s debut as Toy Show host reached up to 1,575, 800 viewers.
Two new artistic directors from the UK have been brought in to produce the opening number.
To apply on behalf of your child, head to the RTÉ Website.
