Viewers have been praising host Patrick Kielty for knocking it out of the park again, but the host says the viewers are the ones who made this year's show so special.
He praised them for donating vital funds for the Toy Show Appeal.
Kielty confirmed that €4.9 million was raised for the Toy Show Appeal this year.
He stated, "I can’t believe it’s over for another year but I’m still buzzing from a magical Toy Show last Friday night. As always that’s down to the amazing kids who knocked it out of the park with their performances, their toy demos, and bringing their unique personalities, and to you at home for watching and sharing the love on the night.
"The incredible amount our audience watching at home gave to the Toy Show Appeal this year is mind-blowing and the difference it will make to kids and their families up, down, and across Ireland is truly humbling.
"As the money continues to flow in, we will now begin the work of turning it into positive action to meet essential needs, address health and wellbeing, as well as, promoting play and creativity."
RTÉ also confirmed the Late Late Toy Show will return in 2025.
Audiences showed their generosity in enormous numbers through their donations to the Toy Show Appeal, raising €4.9 million this year. Children’s charities across Ireland will see the benefit of these funds in the year ahead with the total figure raised since its inception in 2020 now reaching beyond €26 million.
Denise Charlton, Chief Executive of Community Foundation Ireland said: “The huge generosity of The Late Late Toy Show viewers will transform young lives in every county.
