BRENDAN O'Carroll will keep writing more Mrs Brown's Boys episodes - despite many viewers calling for the BBC to axe the sitcom.

Ratings for the 2024 Christmas Day special of the show raked in just 2.2 million viewers, compared to the 11.5 million people who tuned into the sitcom's first festive special in 2013.

Even though some shared their disgruntled views on Mrs Brown's Boys on X - including a person saying it is "the most idiotic show on TV throughout the past decade" - the programme is still proving popular.

Jon Petrie, director of comedy at the BBC, said in July it is one of the corporation's "most-watched comedies ever".
