MRS Brown’s Boys star Brendan O’Carroll has revealed his big family Christmas reunion has been ruined thanks to Covid.
Brendan, who has played Agnes Brown on the show for ten years had hoped to see his grandchildren for the first time since August 2020.
Speaking on RTE’s Joe Duffy Christmas Eve special, Brendan explained that he has not seen his grandchildren in 15 months as he lives in Florida with his wife Jennifer.
The couple spent the worst of the Covid crisis in Florida, working on scripts and preparing for their upcoming tour, which will be taking place next June.
The TV star said his Christmas reunion plans have been ruined after he was forced into isolation.
Brendan said he been in close contact with someone who tested positive for the virus.
He told listeners: “I’m staying in my bubble because unfortunately, I was in contact with somebody who was in contact with somebody who tested positive.
“We’re waiting on the result of the PCR.”
“I haven’t seen my grandsons in fifteen months so I can’t wait to see them,” he explained.
Brendan told the Irish Sun earlier this month: “We went 15 months without seeing our grandchildren. It nearly killed us.
“They were in the lockdown, we were in the lockdown. It was just horrendous.”
One of the festive episodes of Mrs Brown’s Boys will air on BBC One on Christmas Day at 10:20pm, followed by another on New Year’s Day at 10pm.
