Ryan Tubridy denies RTE pulled 'weird stunt' after Late Late viewers left baffled by dress mystery

Viewers of Friday night's Late Late Show were left scratching their heads as they spotted multiple women in the studio audience who seemed to be wearing the same dress.

Twitter users were quick to point out the hilarious occurrence as multiple audience members were spotted in leopard print dresses. One person joked: "Did I just see two girls wearing the SAME dress in the audience? Literally the stuff of nightmares."

Another said: "A lot of leopard skin dresses in the audience!!!" A third person joked: "Love your dress! You too! Can we move seats? Sorry, no, you’ll just have to experience this female nightmare nationally."

Another person said that they would be "ditching my leopard print dress" after last Friday's show. Ryan has since addressed the thing that seemed to grip some audience members most about the latest Late Late Show.

Speaking to his RTE Radio One listeners this morning, the host said: "On last Friday's Late Late Show, there was a lot of fuss about how nearly half of the the women in the audience seemed to be wearing the same dress. I don't know what the answer to that problem is.

"Multiple women in the crowd were spotted wearing the same dress. Was that contrived? Was that some weird sort of fashion stunt we were trying to pull? Not at all. It just happens.

Friday night's Late Late Show saw Ryan joined by guests such as Dublin Olympic hero Kellie Harrington and Irish country music legend Daniel O'Donnell. Kellie's interview moved viewers who praised the sports star for opening up on her troubled teenage years which included drinking and "taking pills".
