Hot off the heels of the Mrs Brown's Boys Christmas Special to conclude the Christmas TV schedules and kick off 2024 in classically calamitous style, Agnes et al are resolving to get themselves into shape — hence the episode title: New Year, New Mammy. Welcome to The Blubber Club!
As ever, the best laid plans don't quite run according to plan. But this time it's no fault of the Browns, as Winnie (played by creator Brendan O’Carroll’s sister Eilish) is accosted by a stranger who seems determined to put a fly in the muscle rub.
"They all decide to lose weight for the New Year and set up The Blubber Club!" says O’Carroll of the New Year's special.
"As they’re trying to lose all this weight Winnie sees a guy from her past, who she thinks is stalking her. Agnes confronts him and he makes a revelation!"
