Over 600,000 viewers tuned in to watch RTE’s Late Late Show special on Friday - which raised over €3 million for the Ukraine fundraising appeal.
Viewers tuned in in their droves for the chat show, fronted by Ryan Tubridy last week, for the show which acted as a fundraiser for the Irish Red Cross in Ukraine.
After weeks of dropping, a spokesperson for RTE told the Irish Daily Mirror: "The Late Late Show was watched by 545,000 viewers across RTE One and RTE One+1.
“Friday night's show reached a peak viewership of 607,800 on RTE One.
“The show was dedicated to the Irish Red Cross fundraising appeal for Ukraine and through the generosity of the Irish public it raised over €3 million to help those affected by the disaster."
It comes as a 200,000 jump in viewers compared to last month, which saw an average of 430,000 tuning into the weekly chat show.
Elsewhere, Dermot Bannon managed to hold his audience, as over half a million tuned into his latest Room to Improve episode on Sunday night.
A spokesperson for RTE said: "An average of 519,500 viewers tuned in to last night’s Room to Improve on RTE One and RTE One+1.
“It reached a peak viewership of 531,700 on RTE One."
