Fiona O'Carroll has shared a family picture ahead of tonight's Mrs Brown's Boys Christmas special on RTE and BBC.
The actor, who plays Maria Brown in the hit show, shared the picture on her Instagram account with the whole family.
Father Brendan can be seen on the right while his wife Jennifer Gibney sits on the opposite of the couch - with all involved wearing a Christmas onesie.
Fiona's ex-husband Martin Delany was also picture alongside the pair's kids.
Fiona and Martin ended their romantic relationship this year but Fiona told how they co-parent very well since the split.
Speaking to the Irish Mirror last week, the star's said they actually struggle to watch the show when it first comes out.
41-year-old Fiona revealed that she pretends to be making tea while the show airs and then re-watches it by herself afterwards.
“What I tend to do is I keep putting the kettle on," she said. "And every now and then I’ll be like, ‘Right more tea!’ and I’ll head back out and be like, ‘Anybody want more tea? More biscuits?’
“I tend to keep myself busy and listen to see if I hear the kids laughing and if I hear the kids laughing I go, ‘Okay, that’s grand’."
She added: “And then I’ll re-watch it again afterwards, quietly, by myself, so I don’t go too scarlet.
“It’s a bit mortifying actually, it’s a bit weird watching yourself on TV.”
Her co-star Eilish, 69, who plays Winnie McGoogan, Mrs. Brown's best friend and neighbour, agreed saying: “No, I find it hard to [watch].
"I can watch Maria [Brown], Fiona I should say, because she’s just brilliant but when I come on, I actually have to leave the room. Seriously, I have to watch it from behind the wall.”
The actress added: “And it’s the first time we’ve seen the show as well so we’ll be watching it when you guys are watching it.
“When you’re laughing, we’ll probably be crying,” she joked. “But seriously, when you’re laughing we’ll be laughing along with you.”
