Mrs Brown's Boys stars have a whale of a time on stage, but behind the scenes, the comedy has been rocked with scandal. The BBC sitcom, starring and written by Brendan O'Carroll, has entertained the nation for more than 10 years, and viewers look forward to their much-loved Christmas specials each year. The Irish actor, who plays foul-mouthed matriarch, Agnes Brown, roped in his own family and close friends to star in the show, however it appears to have led to some difficult controversies in hiring loved-ones.
The original line-up has been rejigged over the years, and one of the show's leading characters walked out after growing tired of it, and hasn't bothered to keep in touch with his former castmates. Looking back over five seasons of Mrs Brown's Boys, which first aired in 2011, we take a look a the antics that have stormed the show...
While Mrs Brown’s Boys is filmed before a live studio audience it has only once been aired literally live so far. Despite the show having the chance to do re-takes and edits under normal circumstances, occasionally slip-ups have been left in the final version of the episodes that air.
On a number of occasions, camera operators have glided into view or have been caught running across sets while the actors are performing. Show creator, and Mrs Brown herself, Brendan O’Carroll has managed to work the slip-ups into dialogue, at one point quipping: "The mans here to see about filming the wedding" to the delight of the live audience. However, some fans have accused the incidents of being faked or staged for drama.
