Late Show host, Patrick Kielty, was left stunned by a last-minute surprise on Friday night's GAA (The Gaelic Athletic Association) special. During the show, there was a running joke that the Sam Maguire Cup was missing with a panel of sporting legends paid tribute to the GAA. However in a heart-warming twist at the end of the show, Kielty's fellow players from the 1987 minor team from Down brought in the iconic cup as they walked on the set.

He explained to the audience: "I've been told there is a change of plans, this is not in the script. I knew something was up and didn't know what was up. This is a surprise, it says to read the autocue, Paddy, that's what they are telling me to do", reports the
Irish Mirror . He added: "You may have heard me mention at least five times tonight, I do have an All-Ireland medal, yes I was a sub-goalie on the glorious
Football Championship-winning Down minor team of 1987 and some of that team are here tonight." The 52-year-old hugged his old pals and said: "How did this happen tonight?" with Raphael Haughian replied: "Well Paddy for years Dermot Hawkins and us were your heroes - now you're our hero." Viewers at home loved the surprise with one writing: "What a lovely end to the Late Late Show. Probably the first time that Patrick Kielty has been left truly speechless". Join the Daily Record
