Ladies and gents this is the moment you've waited for....

Step aside Hugh Jackman, there's a new Greatest Showman in town, as tonight, on the most highly-anticipated TV show of the year, Ryan Tubridy will channel his inner P.T Barnum for The Late Late Toy Show. 

The theme has been revealed and it just might be our favourite one ever - it's 'The Greatest Showman'.

Speaking on The Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show, Ryan tells us the story of how the concept came about, "it's a film actually that my youngest daughter loved and I went along and my friends and colleagues said this is for you. You should do this".

Having settled on the theme, Tubridy reveals the powerful message he and the team over at RTÉ want to convey, that "children shouldn't know barriers". He continues by saying, "this is about the kid who doesn't necessarily get picked for the soccer team. It's for the kid who doesn't necessarily get included in Snapchat conversations or WhatsApp groups". 

It's a way of celebrating children and adults alike who, "just know their own world". Never be afraid to be you. 

Tubs also chats about some of his most memorable moments over the past few years on the Toy Show and admits, "I'm one of those strange adults who still believes in magic". 

And we have no doubt that tonight's production will be the most magical one to date. 

Catch The Late Late Toy Show on RTÉ One at 9:35pm tonight.
