Mrs Brown's Boys' Brendan O'Carroll slams critics who say he's transphobic

Mrs Brown's Boys' creator Brendan O'Carroll has slammed critics who call him 'transphobic'.

The comedian plays the titular character of Mrs Brown on the BBC show, and whilst the programme has been off TV screens for nearly 10 years, the show is set to make a comeback with a mini-series next year and two Christmas specials.

It was due to happen in 2022, but production was put on hold due to scheduling difficulties and Covid delays. The show has received criticism from some viewers, who claim the programme is transphobic and accused Brendan of "cultural appropriation".
