Lucky Leitrim boy set to fly the county flag in The Late Late Toy Show

Nine-year-old Oran Cox will represent Leitrim in The Late Late Toy Show on Friday night.

Oran from Carrick-on-Shannon was one of the lucky few to be selected to appear on what is the most popular show in Irish television. 

Last year's Elf-themed Toy Show drew in over 1.7 million viewers, making it the most-watched programme of the year in Ireland.

This year, Ladbrokes has predicted yet another record-breaking viewership of the beloved show.

Oran, who is in third class in Annaduff National School, will take part in the brand new section of the show, the County Parade.

This new addition is all about county pride, with children from all 32 counties across the island taking part.

In the callout for children to audition, the Late Late chiefs said they wanted kids who are "passionate about their county" and who have "county pride in buckets."

Clearly a young man passionate about Leitrim, Oran will represent his county on a ride-on bike, scooter, or go-kart along with the other flag flying children taking part.

In preparation for the big night, Oran got to try out all the different bikes and go-karts that will be used for the big parade.

Make sure to show your support for Oran when he makes his TV debut on The Late Late Toy Show on Friday night at 9:35pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player!
