The star of this year’s Late Late Toy Show was easily Adam King who stole the hearts of the nation. Speaking to Ryan on the show he shared his love of space but that due to his condition he couldn’t be an astronaut.
Adam was born with a brittle bone condition called Osteogenesis Imperfecta and has it in the most severe form. Despite this, Adam was a ray of sunshine on the show as he had the craic with Tubridy ‘launching’ himself into space!
