Brendan O'Carroll has opened up about the grief he experienced following the death of his eldest child.
The Mrs Brown's Boys creator and his first wife Doreen O'Carroll welcomed their first son Brendan Jnr into the world together two years after tying the knot in 1977, but the new parents suffered unimageable tragedy when their baby passed away just one week after being born.
Recalling his son's birth and death in his new memoir, Brendan explains to readers how a nurse called him from hospital to tell him Doreen - whom he divorced in 1999 - had 'a tough fight ahead of her', before he rushed to be by his then-wife's side as she prepared to give birth to their child.
