The opening of the Late Late Toy Show was an ode to Beauty and the Beast – kicking-off with a medley of the musical’s most recognised songs.
Taking on the role of the candlestick Lumiere in the famous Disney movie, Ryan showed off his danced moves whilst singing a rendition of the film’s Be Our Guest.
Although the Dubliner was praised for his hard work, it was little Luke O’Connor as Chip who melted viewers hearts.
Taking to social media in their droves, fans of the show were thrilled by the magical opening especially little Chip:

What a start! If the presenting career doesn’t work out, we reckon Ryan could hit the West End! #LateLateToyShow pic.twitter.com/JcNWREHIdK — Littlewoods Ireland (@LittlewoodsIRL) November 27, 2015
If you haven’t grown up with the late late toy show tradition then you’re not doing Christmas right I’m afraid — Nora Ellen (@Katyshappymeal) November 27, 2015
