The creator of Mrs Brown's Boys Brendan O'Carroll has revealed that the show almost didn't develop from theatre to TV because producers didn't like the word "bum".
The BBC show wasn't an overnight success, with Brendan plugging away at the format for years and an original version of the comedy first being played on Irish radio station RTÉ 2fm way back in 1992.
In his new memoir, Call Me Mrs. Brown, the TV star, 67, recalls his famous show's origins and the struggles along the way, in addition to opening up about the breakdown of his first marriage, the heartbreaking death of his newborn baby and how Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand's antics once delayed production on his BBC show, writes the Mirror.
