Mrs Brown’s Boys’ main man Brendan O’Carroll to host new BBC panel show For Facts Sake
Brendan O’Carroll is ditching his Mrs Brown get-up for a new BBC One panel show Mrs Brown’s Boys’ fr..
Mrs Brown’s Boys’ frontman Brendan O’Carroll is about to turn game show host, after being snapped up to front the new BBC panel show For Facts Sake.
Yup, Brendan will be ditching the wig and the padded bra and appearing as himself as main man of the quiz, which will set out to celebrate ordinary people and their extraordinary facts.
And he’s not the only Mrs Brown’s Boys’ regular who’ll be showing up either – as other cast members will be heading up the two teams as they go against each other in a bid to outdo each other with their knowledge of fascinating facts and true trivia.
‘I’m really excited to be doing a show where I don’t have to wear a bra!’ Brendan quipped.
‘When we did the pilot it was great fun, if we can capture that on the screen we are all in for a good time.’
Charlotte Moore, Director of Content said: I can’t wait for Brendan O’Carroll to bring his own inimitable warmth and wit to a brand new comedy panel show for BBC One.
The show will air on BBC One later this year.
And given the continued popularity of Mrs Brown’s Boys – which won the festive ratings battle with almost 7m viewers tuning in on Christmas Day – we’re guessing this one could be a ratings hit too…
