Ah and just like that, another year of the Late Late Toy Show comes to an end.
Last night’s show will certainly be marked as one of our eternal favourites. Filled with moments of laughter, theatre, sheer happiness, good will and above all else, plenty of happy kids, it was a remarkable show.
But just incase you missed it (or want to recap on the night), here is last night’s Toy Show in 12 tweets.
Ryan got a bit too excited with a kid and a stretchy doll…

Ryan wore a face mask… which then became the meme of the century.

Little Molly and Alison found out they were going to become a zoologist and an author for a day. Kids with bright futures.

Ryan gave us his best runaway impression. But would he make it as America’s Next Top Model? Jurys out on this one.
Ryan, your runway was very late late. And not in a good way. I’m sorry my dear, now #LateLateToyShow pic.twitter.com/ZPFOP3T6ec
