Nine-year-old Cavan boy applied for Toy Show job and NAILED it

Charlie Brunton from Cavan is a HUGE Late Late Toy Show fan, so much so, he watches old Toy Show footage on YouTube throughout the whole year. 

And it was during one of his recent Toy Show binges that the nine-year-old decided he wanted a job on the RTE show. 

His mother, Breege said: "He looked at the muscles on his arms and decided they were definitely ready for that job! When I was rushing out to work one morning he produced a sealed envelope and asked me to write Ryan Tubridy’s address.

"I hastily spelled Donnybrook, Dublin 4 for him and posted it. Every so often he would ask ‘did Ryan Tubridy ring me?’"

His mother didn't expect to get a reply but RTE took one look at Charlie's application and decided that he was exactly the right man for the job and he'll be 'working' behind-the-scenes at the Toy Show this Friday. 

Charlie's mam admitted that he was "speechless" when he heard the good news. 

"After getting the call 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."

The family sit down to watch the Toy Show every year and Charlie's teenage brother are planning a party on the night to celebrate his first day on the job. Well done, Charlie!
