Comedy star Brendan O'Carroll accidentally revealed a secret about the Mrs Brown's Boys' Christmas special on This Morning.
The Finglas actor delighted fans by announcing that the second episode, Orange is the new Mammy, will air on New Year's Day.
He later confessed that he wasn't supposed to have shared the news, RSVP Live reports.
Speaking to Philip Schofield, Brendan confirmed to the host that there would once again be a second festive episode, saying: "Yeah one on Christmas Day and one on New Year's Day."
But Phil quickly jumped in saying: "Only you weren't supposed to say that, I think that was going to be released this afternoon."
To which Brendan replied: "It's a secret" much to Holly Willoughby and Phil's amusement.
Last month Brendan hinted that this year's Christmas instalment of Mrs Brown's Boys will be the best one yet telling RSVP:
"The Christmas Day one is called ‘It’s a Wonderful Mammy’ and Agnes is in Foley’s after having a row with Winnie, Cathy and her daughter in law and she is fed with them all."
A total of 4.7 million viewers watched the Irish sitcom on BBC One last year and they are pulling out all the stops this time around.
The show creator added: "She says to herself ‘Do you ever wish you weren’t here’ and an angel appears beside her in the form of Kevin Kennedy and he helps her with that and shows her what life would be like if she wasn’t there.
"If you have seem ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’, you will know that everybody’s life is devastated well everyone’s life is bloody fantastic without her."
