Brendan O'Carroll has opened up about the heart-breaking grief he experienced following the death of his eldest child.
The Mrs Browns Boys creator and his first wife Doreen O'Carroll welcomed their first son Brendan Jnr in 1979, but the pair faced an unimaginably tragedy after their baby died just one week after being born. Brendan, 67, details the loss of his first born son in his new memoir as he tells readers how he rushed to his then wife's side as she gave birth.
Before Brendan could even see his son he knew things weren't going to be easy for the tot as the doctors informed him that his newborn baby had a condition called hydrocephalus and spina bifida while Doreen recovered in intensive care.
