The Late Late Toy Show is looking for children to represent County Mayo in this year’s show.
It’s one of the most magical nights of the year and the countdown has begun to The Late Late Toy Show 2024 which is set to air on Friday, December 6.
In an exciting twist this year, kids from every single county in Ireland will take part in the first-ever Late Late Toy Show County Parade.
All 32 counties will be on-screen at once, making this a historic moment and giving children from every corner of the country a chance to be part of the fun.
Busy preparing for December’s show, The Late Late Toy Show producers are looking for children ‘who are passionate about their county’.
“It's not about being the best singer or the best dancer - it's about having county pride in buckets,” they said.
Applications are now open, and all you have to do is explain why you love your county.
“You could be cheering for Clare, marching for Mayo, or freestyling for Fermanagh,” concluded the producers.
Host of The Late Late Toy Show, Patrick Kielty said: “The inaugural Toy Show County Parade sounds to me like it could be the best craic of the night - 32 counties, 32 kids, live in studio on the biggest TV night of the year - I mean what could possibly go wrong?”
Applications may be submitted via the RTÉ website before Wednesday, October 2.
