“Today we start the search for this year’s dreamers - the next generation of Toy Show superheroes.
"So, if you think you have what it takes to be part of this year’s Late Late Toy Show, we want to hear from you.
"No matter who you are or where you’re from just tell us why you should be joining me for my very first Late Late Toy Show and, you never know, it might just happen.
