Did you see it?

Young Tipperary girl Sophie Quirke was ushered to Dublin on Friday night to make the end of the Toy Show for her dream to come true.

Host Patrick Kielty told how one little girl - eight-year-old Sophie - "really grabbed our attention" during the Toy Show auditions.

He added: "It was mainly because she said that her one and only dream was to come and see us at the Toy Show which sounds simple, but it wasn’t as straightforward for her as she was in hospital a lot this year.

"Tonight's the night when anything can happen and we know this evening that she’s actually at a Toy Show viewing party in Dublin with her family and some friends," said the popular presenter Kielty.

"She has no idea what's about to happen."

Sophie and her family were quickly ushered into a bus, driving to Dublin to make it in time for the end of the show.

She brought with her a toy unicorn named Uni – who she said is eight and has leukaemia – who looked a bit worn before Sophie explained why.

"Uni doesn’t have as much fur as him (another toy), in the shops they have loads of fur but all hers got off because I hug her so much,” she told Kielty.

Sophie unpacked a small suitcase of Minnie Mouse ears, dolls from Disney’s Encanto and Wish before Kielty revealed she was going to head to Disneyland in Orlando, Florida for a once-in-a-lifetime trip.

"We'd love to make another one of your wishes come true," he told her, adding he was "delighted" to get her and her family to Disney.
