The Late Late Toy Show 2025 was full of twists and turns, and the arrival of Roy Keane was a major surprise on the night.
He was on hand to greet best friends Keelin and Dylan, who were fan favourites on the night with the audience at home moved to tears by their lovely friendship. Fans of the show praised their supportive friendship, and the lads did incredible renditions of their favourite songs.
Ahead of the lads tackling a tower of toys, they were surprised by the arrival of Irish football legend Roy Keane. “Roy Keane jump scare,” said one viewer.
“Well of the guests I didn’t expect to see fair play Roy!” another said.
A third said: “Not me reacting like they just brought Roy Keane into MY living room.”
Another noted how casually they brought Roy Keane on to the show: “Love how unceremonious Roy Keane’s entrance was. He just walked out. No messing round.”
