Father Ted star Ardal O’Hanlon has revealed he had to give back a new kitchen he splashed out on with advance money he was given by a publisher on a book that flopped.
The actor – most well known for playing half-wit Father Dougal McGuire on the Channel 4 series – wrote his first novel The Talk of the Town in 1998.
He followed up with his next book, called Ragweed, which never got off the ground.
