Watch: Late Late Toy Show reunites family after six years apart

There was a special surprise in store for Carol O'Brien on The Late Late Toy Show.

Granny Carol O'Brien from Navan, Co Meath was sitting in the Toy Show audience when Patrick made a beeline for the seat beside her.

Carol's daughter Joanne, son-in-law Richard and grandchildren Ben and Eva were in Perth, Western Australia and had recorded a special video message.

Except they weren't 9,200 miles away - they were behind the Christmas Tree in the Toy Show studio!

The tears flowed, with even Patrick struggling to keep it together as the Toy Show added to its treasure trove.

See their surprise reunion in the video above.
