Later this month, RTÉ plans to celebrate love in the most Irish way possible – with a special Valentine's Day edition of The Late Late Show.

As with last year, much of the audience will be made up of singles looking for love (because who's a better matchmaker than our own Ryan Tubridy?), but there will also be a few couples in the mix too.

Today, The Late Late Show announced a call-out for Ireland's Most Loved-Up Couple, as nominated by viewers.

If you know someone who is annoyingly in love with their partner – or indeed, if that person is you – then make yourself known.

"The lucky couple will win themselves a romantic break for two but, more importantly, they’ll get the chance of a lifetime: making their very own appearance on The Late Late Show," RTÉ explains.

"This year’s Valentine’s Special on Friday, February 21, will host an audience of 200 single men and women on the hunt for love and we're looking for the perfect couple who can show them how it’s done."

According to the man himself, Ryan Tubridy, the nominated couples can be anyone at any stage of a relationship.

"We’re asking people to nominate the couples they feel perfectly embody what love means.

"Maybe they have a funny story about how they met or they’ve inspired everyone around them with their long and happy marriage. Perhaps, they’re devoted to their children and need a break or they’ve faced down great adversity hand-in-hand and made it through to the other side stronger than ever."

If you think you know the perfect couple, get in touch (publicly or privately) with The Late Late Show on Facebook including picture and some info, tweet using the hashtag #LateLateLove or email latelatelove@rte.ie.

Well, all we can say is this is going to be one very interesting Late Late.

Hollywood stars Kevin Hart and Ice Cube are set to appear on The Late Late Show this Friday, and we can't WAIT to see how Ryan Tubridy is going to handle them.

The comedian and rapper have both turned to acting for their role in Ride Along 2, which will be discussed between the three men on the show.

Ice Cube will also be talking about Straight Outta Compton, last year's box office hit, which portrayed the rapper's early days in music. 

Kevin, who has a massive 25 million followers on Twitter, will chat to Ryan about turning from a popular comedian, to a film star.

Either way, we're betting this Friday's Late Late will be full of laughs and certainly a bit different from the rest. Let's just hope Kevin doesn't go a bit OTT with his jokes.

Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg graced Irish soil earlier this week, as they hit Dublin for the premiere of their new film, Daddy's Home.

RTÉ confirmed yesterday that the pair had pre-recorded an interview with none other than Ryan Tubridy in front of a live studio audience.

So yes, you'll be able to hear all about Will and Mark's Irish trip tomorrow night on The Late Late Show.

Rumour has it we'll even get to see Mark's impression of a drunken Irish dad – the two actors apparently found themselves in the middle of a group of competition winners at the premiere who were only there "to get pissed." Standard.

"The great thing was, the guy beside him said ‘I didn’t understand a word he said either’ and he talked to us for probably five minutes," Mark told Ryan.

As well as appearing on our nation's TV holy grail, Mark and Will also dished out the selfie love very freely indeed, posing with countless fans outside Dublin's Savoy Cinema:

Oh, and they visited a fair few pubs, too:

Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell we officially award you Legend status.

Some of us look back on our Gaeltacht memories with joy, and others look back and completely cringe. 

It was the place you got shipped off to once a year to practically just hang out with your friends and maybe learn a bit of Irish.

Way back in 2002, Ger Roche recieved a postcard from her 13-year-old son about how his time in the Gaeltacht is going… and it's priceless.

Ger sent it into the The Ryan Tubridy Show part of Ryan's An Post letters competition.

As you can see, Ger's son wasn't one bit happy. And we have to say, his choice of sentences were really spectacular too:

"Hi Mother Dearest. This place is crap.

"The Ceilí are a load of rubbish… Danced with a girl who looked like Satan."

But the best line of all? "Your angry son who you [threw] away to a bog."

Ryan Tubridy really went through the mill last night with probably the most awkward interview we've seen in a while.

Nigella Lawson was a guest on last nights The Late Late Show and (after obviously having a few too many) completely mixed up her sentences and slurred her words. 

Ryan even pulled out two Nutella jars with their names on them side by side and jokingly said, "I thought we could be jarred together."

Oh, Ryan.

And not surprisingly, Twitter went crazy following the awkward interview:

Gathered in our jammies, with a kilo of Cadbury Roses within arm's reach, we waited with bated breath for this year's Late Late Toy Show.

Would Ed Sheeran surprise someone again? Would we finally find our new John Joe? Maybe Bono and the lads would head over after their gig?

Well, not quite.

Last night's Toy Show was a very Irish spectacular indeed, with Evelyn Cusack as a "celebrity guest" and a "small farmer" named Fionn schooling us in the wonders of John Deere and how to rap.

As for Ryan, he definitely seemed to be high on life last night, especially for the opening number where he danced to Be Our Guest in a very fetching orange suit.

As always, Twitter was awash with #LateLateToyShow tweeting action – indeed, the hashtag was trending worldwide at various stages throughout the night.

Here are a few of our fave lines…

The Late Late Toy Show airs  this Friday and thus the nation – young and old alike – is consumed by waves of excited nostalgia. 

However, amid the talk of toys, celebrity guests and Ryan's jumper (obvz), we're going to embrace our inner Scrooge for a brief moment.

What we are about to do is, of course, akin to treason… but here we bring you the top eight reasons why this year we flat-out refuse to engage in Late Late Toy Show hype.

1. We apply EVERY year, but not once have we scored tickets
Damn you, lottery.

 

2. We're always a little bit too jealous of the stage school kids
It was acceptable when we were seven, but not so much now. Billie Barry = the dream.

 

3. Gay Byrne/Pat Kenny never once replied to our requests to be a toy tester
Apparently you have to audition or something.

 

4. The audience's free gifts unleash uncontrollable levels of jealousy in us
"They ALL get a remote control pet pug?" *throws TV out window*

 

5. We're on edge with nerves in case one of the toys doesn't work
Those poor four-year-olds (and us), scarred for life.

 

6. We have unreasonably high expectations after Ed Sheeran appeared last year
All the happy tears.

 

7. The Toy Show officially signals the beginning of Christmas
Which means we have to start our Christmas shopping. UGH.

 

8. And plus, there's still nobody who can top John Joe Brennan.
Our favourite future horologist.

This yuletide season, two (or should that be three?) of our favourite festive stables are FINALLY joining forces: yes, step forward The Late Late Toyshow AND the Christmas jumper – as released by Penneys, no less.

Ho, ho, ho!

Toyshow jumpers: women's [left] and men's [right], both €20

 

After all, little could get us in the mood for seasonal festivities more than a brightly-coloured geansaí, sourced from our favourite affordable store, along with the airing of a certain live television classic.

Available in chic grey shade and classic navy shades and featuring an adorable Christmasy owl surround by snow, the €20 tops also feature The Late Late Toyshow logo.

Kids jumpers, €15

 

Along with a stash of fabulously comfy loungewear [priced from €14], and cute kids' items [priced from €10], the attire hits Penneys nationwide this month… all in time for the Ryan Tubridy spectacle, which this year airs on RTE on November 27.

Girls and boys PJs, €10

 

Better still, with €2 from every purchase going to the Temple Street Foundation, there is really no excuse (we didn't need one, mind) not to get your hands on these festive treats.

Women's lounge set, €14
Men's longe top and bottoms, €15 for the set

 

To celebrate the launch of the collection, home-grown boyband Hometown earlier visited the children’s hospital to spread some music and Christmas cheer.

Speaking about the collaboration, CEO of The Temple Street Foundation, Denise Fitzgerald, confirmed: “The Toyshow is a beloved national institution and many of our little patients will be watching from their hospital beds on November 27.”

The Late Late Toy Show is a little over a month away, and of course we're already planning a night in with Christmas jumpers and copious amounts of Cadbury Roses.

But one lucky sod could actually be part of the annual show's studio audience without having to apply, thanks to a new competition launched by RTÉ today.

For the first time, the Toy Show is going on the road, to check out the singing and dancing talent in cities across Ireland.

All you have to do to enter the new competition is to snap a picture of the Late Late Toy Show car as it travels the country, and post it on Twitter or Facebook.

The car is bright red, so it's hard to miss:

Simply tag your snap with #latelatetoyshow, and you could skip the queue of 200,000 applicants to win yourself two tickets to the big night at the end of November.

Ryan and his red wheels hit Cork today, with auditions to follow in Athlone on October 13, Sligo on October 14 and Dublin on October 19.

Thousands of audition tapes were submitted to RTÉ over the last few weeks, with hopefuls from all 32 counties attending the regional auditions this week.

Close to 1.25m people watched the Late Late Toy Show last year – that's a quarter of the population, btw – with 269 performers and toy testers taking part.

Well this is probably one of the strangest celebrity friendships we have heard of yet.

Last night on Celebrity Big Brother, 'world's first super model' Janice Dickinson was dropping names all over the place. The one name we couldn't help to ay attention to though was her favourite Irish celeb.

​Janice and Ryan Tubridy are apparently the best of friends. Well, sort of anyway. 

The American TV personality was having a tough time of it in the house and just couldn't face the cold anymore. She was overwhelmed with emotion when she received a care package. 

Included in the package wre some extra warm jumpers from her fiancé Ricky. One of these was an Aran jumper that Ryan gifted her after her appearance on The Late Late Show. 

Item thumb

Her shout out was part of a strange goodbye speech, which was odd enough seeing as she wasn't actually going anywhere, in which she offered the jumpers to her fellow housemates.

Janice was gifted the jumper from Tubs back in 2010 when she explained that she hadn;t been able to find one anywhere. Bizarre, but also quite sweet.

Although the people of Twitter were very confused about the whole thing:

Oh Janice, you never fail to disappoint:

Ryan Tubridy has decided it's time to move on from his plush period home in upmarket Monkstown. 

The Late Late Show host bought the house with his former flame, Aoibhinn Ni Shuilleabhain, more than two years ago, but 12 months later they pulled the plug on their relationship. 

Now the swish pad is on the market for a cool €1.275m, selling through estate agent, Turley Property.

Single Ryan, 42, said he decided to pack up because he realised the house is a bit too big for him. 

“Not long after I went in I realised it was bigger than I needed, it was too much. I need something cosier," he told the Irish Mirror.

“This house is suited to a growing family.”

The abode features a master bedroom with en-suite, a huge country-style kitchen and grand stone hallway, as well as a stunning view across Dun Laoghaire harbour.

Take a look inside the 240sq metre dreamy home here…

Ah the Late Late Show. A sure sign that our Irish summer is drawing to a close is hearing that familiar theme song coming from the telly ona Friday night. 

There's just something about it that we can't turn our back on. We're not the only ones, over the years Ryan and previous hosts have had some pretty incredible guests on the show. Many of whom are musically inclined.

To highlight the musical talents, and just star power in general, that has graced the show, the folks at RTE put together a brilliant new sing-a-long trailer. 

Oh you might laugh at how cringe it seems, but trust us, you'll be singing long by the time the chorus kicks in.
