One Irish Boy Wrote A Brilliant Letter To Ryan Tubridy Ahead Of The Toy Show… And Now His Dream Is Coming True

Ryan Tubridy - making dreams come true.  A nine-year-old boy from Co. Cavan will see his dream turned into a reality this coming Friday night thanks to Ryan Tubridy and the crew at the Late Late Toy Show. Earlier this year, Charlie Brunton from Mountnugent wrote to Tubs asking if he could come in and help out as a stage hand on the hugely popular show (which is on this Friday in case you’ve been living under a rock). Christmas jumper at the ready! There was some good news for Charlie this week as it was confirmed by RTÉ that his wish has been granted and that he will be helping out behind the scenes on the show. “Charlie always thinks about how things are done with a particular interest in filming and special effects,” said his proud mother Breege this week. “He absolutely loves the Toy Show and he is very handy with a hammer - we have lots of evidence with hammer prints on window boards, missing pieces off tables and no plaster left! “When I was rushing out to work one morning he produced a sealed envelope and asked me to write Ryan Tubridy’s address." Charlie's letter to Ryan.  “I hastily spelled Donnybrook, Dublin 4 for him and posted it. Every so often he would ask ‘Did Ryan Tubridy ring me?’ We couldn’t believe it when we did get the call!” she added. “I finished work early to pick him up from school to tell him the big news. He was speechless driving home. “Then the phone calls and messages started and it hasn’t stopped since. He still doesn’t believe he will be on it. He has become a local celebrity. “Everyone in our rural parish knows. He went around to each classroom in school (Scoil Bhríde in Mountnugent) to tell all the students and spoke at assembly about it. “We have looked at every Toy Show recorded. Our lives at the minute are all arranged around Friday and he is enjoying every minute of it!” She also added that Charlie’s brothers Jack (17), Ben (16) and Ned (13) have been helping out by tutoring him daily and on Friday night the family are having a party at home to watch him on the Toy Show. And who would Charlie like to be when he grows up? “Ryan Tubridy!” said Breege.
