Ryan Tubridy was delighted to run into his "dear friend" Adam King in the Aviva Stadium.
The pair became fast friends during the Late Late Toy Show in 2020 and have remained in contact ever since.
Last year, Adam, who has brittle bones syndrome, raised over €266,000 for Temple Street Children’s University Hospital Health Foundation and Cork University Hospital Charity through the sale of special Virtual Hugs Valentine’s Day cards.

His book Christmas book "A Hug For You" gained great success with the little star also blasting into this year's St Patrick's Day parade.
Ryan and Adam were finally able to enjoy a "real hug" in the stadium after two years of Covid-19 lockdowns and social distancing.
Adam's family shared the heart-warming moment on Twitter.
They wrote: "Look who we met at the @AVIVAStadium @FAIreland game! And after 2 years and all the lockdowns - finally - a real hug.
"What a lovely moment."
Ryan also shared a gorgeous photo of the group on his Instagram story. He wrote: "I found our lucky charms! My dear friend, Adam King and family."
