Fans delighted as star shares great news about Mrs Brown's Boys Christmas special

Fans have shared their delight after Mrs Brown's Boys star Danny O'Carroll shared some great news about the show's Christmas special.

The actor, who plays Buster in the hit show, confirmed filming for the beloved special will be going ahead.

Production on films and TV shows across the world was halted as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

But it has finally been confirmed that the BBC show will be able to go ahead with its Christmas special - although there is unlikely to be an audience.

Danny told his 80,000 followers on Twitter: "Just got the shooting dates for Mrs Browns Boys Christmas Specials. WE'RE BACK!"

While another added: "All the best with it. Thank God something about Xmas will still be normal, by God do we all need a laugh!"
