LOVED Saoírse Ruane, who was on The Late Late Toy Show, died of cancer when she was only 12.
The brave girl from Galway, whose appearance on the Toy Show won hearts across the country, died on Tuesday, her family said this morning.
Saoírse was diagnosed with cancer in November 2019 after complaining of an injured ankle. In 2020, her leg was cut off because an Osteosarcoma tumor in her tibia was found to be cancerous and likely to kill her.
When Saoírse joined Ryan Tubridy on the Late Late Toy Show in 2020, her story became well known.
The Galway girl’s fight against a rare form of bone cancer amazed everyone with how strong and tough she was.
The death of Saoírse has broken the hearts of her parents, Roseanna and Ollie, and her little sister Farrah-Rose.
They told everyone about their terrible loss by saying, “After a long brave and dignified battle, our hearts are shattered to tell you that our beautiful little Saoírse took her last breath in our arms on Tuesday.”
“Thank you to all of our wonderful fans for thinking about Saoírse and us over the past few weeks.
“Today, we also think of you because we know how much the country loved Saoírse and how she changed the lives of so many people.”
“Cancer, you took her away from us. You also took away our dreams and the life we had.” Things will never be the same!
Please give us some space as we go on our last and final trip with our beautiful girl. “Farrah Rose and Mamma Dadda.”
President Michael D. Higgins and stars from all over show business have paid tribute to the beloved girl. Her story was told on The Toy Show the first year they started their huge charity campaign.
through her battle, Saoírse’s family gave a “devastating” health update in November of last year, saying that her cancer had spread.
After a recurring tumor was found in her left lung earlier in 2023, they said it was a “huge shock” to them that the cancer had spread to her other lung.
It was Saoírse’s “biggest battle to date” because she had to go through more chemotherapy.
In April, Roseanna said, “Little did they know that their world was about to fall apart again.”
“To say we’re devastated just doesn’t cover it,” she said. It’s not fair that she’s been to war so many times and fought so hard.
Saoírse had already had a few dreams come true, like going to Old Trafford to see Manchester United play and going on her dream vacation to Disneyland.
When people heard that Saoírse had died, they sent her a lot of tributes.
The office of President Michael D. Higgins said, “President Higgins has sent his deepest condolences to the family of Saoírse Ruane from Kiltullagh, Co. Galway, after her death at the age of 12.” Everyone was moved by Saoírse’s strength and kindness.
Tanaiste Micheal Martin also said, “Very saddened by the death of Saoírse Ruane.”
“I will always remember meeting Saoirse and her mother Roseanna in Croke Park and seeing her beautiful smile and love for GAA.”
“The Toy Show Appeal is an amazing thing she left behind.” We’re very sorry for her family and friends’ loss.
Tubs’ tears
After Saoirse’s appearance on The Toy Show, Ryan Tubridy, who used to host Late Late, became friends with her family. He said that the “world is a poorer place” without her.
According to him, hearing the news of his dear young friend Saoírse Ruane’s death made him feel the saddest thoughts possible.
“As soon as we met, we became friends.” People all over the country fell in love with her, and because of her, a charity was founded. Through this, she helped make the lives of thousands of Irish children better and more hopeful.
“A child who is selfless, humble, kind, hopeful, and thoughtful.” She was everything our country should and could be, and her death will make a lot of us think about things.
“My condolences and all the love I can muster go out to Roseanna, Ollie, and Farrah Rose. They are a beautiful family whose whole world has been turned upside down by this tragedy.”
“Thank them for letting us all know about their amazing Saorse.”
“The world is a poorer place without Saoírse but I do hope that twinkle in her eye shines on and on.”

I Found a Love Note Written on Our Bathroom Mirror – But It Wasn’t Meant for Me
Madison thought it was a sweet gesture when she saw a love note on the bathroom mirror after a fun night out with her husband, Ryan. The note said, “Miss you already, last night was amazing! XOXO.” She immediately assumed it was from Ryan and texted him a thank-you. But his response puzzled her: “Uh, what note, Madison?” He quickly followed up with a strange, casual message claiming he had left the note but forgot. Something about his response felt off, and Madison couldn’t shake the feeling that the note wasn’t meant for her. Could Ryan be hiding something?Throughout the day, the idea gnawed at Madison. She tried to convince herself that she was overreacting, but doubts lingered. When Ryan came home, acting normal, Madison’s suspicions only grew. After he went to bed, she did something she never thought she’d do—she went through his phone. Surprisingly, there was nothing suspicious, no secret texts, no sign of an affair, but Madison’s intuition told her something wasn’t right.
The situation escalated when Ryan came home early from work one day, claiming his dad, Bob, needed help with his laptop. Madison found it odd that Bob had been coming over so frequently, especially when she wasn’t home. A few days later, Ryan’s mom, Claire, called, sounding upset and asking if Madison had seen Bob.That’s when things started to click. Madison realized Bob had been visiting their home a lot more than usual. Determined to find out what was really going on, Madison pretended to run errands but parked nearby to keep an eye on the house. Her heart sank when she saw a woman, who was not Claire, walk up to her front door. She waited a few more minutes before quietly returning home. When she entered, she heard the shower running and crept toward the bathroom. Peeking through the slightly ajardoor, Madison saw Bob in the shower—with the woman who had entered her house.The reality hit her hard. The note wasn’t from Ryan or meant for Madison—it was from Bob’s affair, using their home as his secret meeting place. Furious, Madison confronted Bob, who was shocked but unable to deny the truth. The woman quickly fled, and Madison was left in disbelief. That night, she confronted Ryan, who initially denied knowing anything. But when pressed, he admitted that he had known all along. He explained that he had been covering for his father to keep the affair hidden from his mother, believing it was better that way. Madison was outraged. While Ryan wasn’t cheating, he had been lying to her for months, allowing his father to use their home for his deceit. The couple argued for hours, but Ryan didn’t seem to grasp why Madison was so upset. He defended his actions, saying it was family business and he didn’t want to get involved. But Madison couldn’t forgive the lies and the betrayal. That night, she told Ryan to sleep on the couch and, the next morning, called Claire to tell her everything. Claire was devastated but calm. She told Madison to pack her bags, and together, they checked into a hotel, using money Bob had recently given Claire. What was supposed to be for her birthday weekend was now being used to plan their next steps. By the end of the week, both women filed for divorce.Madison and Claire now share a cozy apartment, starting fresh and free from the lies and betrayal. They’ve found strength in each other, and despite the heartbreak, they’re both ready for a new chapter in their lives, free from the toxic relationships that had once defined them.
