Mrs Brown's Boys is back and cast tease plenty of laughs in brand new series
Mrs Brown's Boys star Danny O'Carroll has opened up about what fans can expect from the new TV series. Filming for series five of the hit BBC show has finally wrapped up.
And former Dancing With The Stars finalist Danny admitted it's a 'great TV series'. Captioning a picture with his dad and show creator Brendan, he said: 'Tomorrow we film the last episode of the new Mrs Brown's Boys mini TV series. What a great TV series this is. I hope you guys laugh as much watching it, as we did filming it.'
On Thursday, the cast and crew tested the episodes in front of a live studio audience of around 200 people. This will be the fifth series of Mrs Brown's Boys, consisting of four episodes.
It's rumoured country singer Daniel O'Donnell could be making an appearance in the show after the star visited the Glasgow studios in April.
In a smiling photo posted to the official Mrs Brown's Boys X page, Daniel could be seen meeting the cast. The Donegal native looked as happy as ever as he put his arms around Jennifer Gibney and Eilish O'Carroll for the snap.
A caption over the image wrote: "A wee treat for mammy today with the unexpected visit of our dear friend Daniel O'Donnell. What an absolute tonic, but he's more my cup of tea #danielodonnell."
A second snap showed Daniel holding up a visitors pass which had the word "family" written on it. However, it has not yet been confirmed if Daniel is set to appear as a guest in an episode.

Kim Kardashian to feature in new BBC documentary about Paris robbery
Reality TV star Kim Kardashian will feature in a new BBC documentary which will recount one of the most "publicised celebrity crimes of our time," when she was robbed at gunpoint in Paris. This comes after a trial found eight people guilty over the robbery of the US star of millions of pounds worth of jewellery during the 2016 Paris Fashion Week. With interviews from friends, family, police officers and journalists who followed the case, The Kim Kardashian Diamond Heist will share new information about what happened leading up to the trial where she faced the robbers in court. Nasfim Haque, head of content at BBC Three, said: "This documentary offers an insight into one of the most publicised celebrity crimes of our time, committed on one of the most famous women on the planet, which will delve into the facts behind the gossip and explore the price of fame in the digital age." Produced by Firecracker Films, the 45-minute documentary will also share the impact the robbery has had on the star. Sam Emmery, creative director at Firecracker, said: "This is one of the most high-profile robberies of the digital age, with social media said to have played a part in the heist. "The film is an opportunity to show how the perpetrators were eventually brought to justice and the lasting impact the ordeal had on its victim, Kim Kardashian." The media personality is best known for starring in the reality TV series Keeping Up With The Kardashians, which followed the lives of the Kardashian family.
