Mrs Brown’s Boys star Brendan O’Carroll lands new job as a quiz show host for BBC1 show
MRS Brown’s Boys star Brendan O’Carroll has landed himself a new job as a quiz show host.
The star, best known for his Mrs Brown alter-ego, will be ditching his bra to present For Facts Sake - a twist on his famous "feckin" catchphrase - for BBC One.
It will "celebrate ordinary people and their extraordinary facts", with two teams competing against each other.
Each team will be captained by a rotating cast of Mrs Brown's Boys' regulars, with the rest of the panel made up of members of the audience.
Speaking about his new gig Brendon, 62, said "I'm really excited to be doing a show where I don't have to wear a bra!
"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."
