The stars of Mrs Brown's Boys are reportedly fearing that the hit comedy could be taken off air amid rumours of backstage tensions between the cast and falling ratings Stars of Mrs Brown’s Boys fear the BBC comedy is on the verge of being taken off air. The outrageous Irish show has seen ratings slump and cast members are worried its days are numbered. One telly insider told us: “There is a feeling among some of the cast that the show is not going to run for much longer. “The ratings are down and it feels like viewers are getting tired of it. “For many of the cast, this show is their main source of income, so it’s nerve-racking to think about it ending. But they are trying to be realistic. Stars fearing it will end soon have already started planning for life without the show. Some have signed up with management companies for the first time in a bid to line up new TV work. Our source told us: “There hasn’t been a full series of Mrs Brown’s Boys for years. They’ve only been filming a few festive specials each year and bits for the chat show spin-off. “A lot of the cast haven’t had a great deal to do. It’s understandable they want to start thinking about other work.” The stars of the show have also reportedly been left fuming after being told they can't cash in on reality TV stints. A show insider said: “Over the years Mrs Brown’s Boys has pulled in big ratings, so it is no surprise there has always been a lot of interest in the cast.

Mammy and her family are back on screens for two more festive specials – but what about a full run of episodes?


Mrs Brown’s Boys is back for what is now an annual tradition of festive specials. Every year it is one of the most-watched programs on television with fans crying out for a full series. So, will there be any more of Brendan O’Carroll’s Irish mammy on screens in the near future?
























There’s good news and bad news. Mrs Brown’s Boys has been commissioned for Christmas specials stretching all the way until 2020. BUT there are no plans for a full series – although it’s unlikely that’s a decision made by the BBC. The last run of episodes, which aired back in 2013, pulled in an average of nine million viewers – staggering numbers which were matched by last year’s Christmas special.



With three series in total, there is plenty of material for fans to watch back on DVD and the Mrs Brown’s crew often tour arenas in the UK and around the globe





















There is also All Round to Mrs Brown’s – the television chat show that was launched on BBC1 earlier this year. The new venture was deemed a success by the Beeb who rewarded mammy with a second series, starting in March 2018.




“The whole family are thrilled with the reception the show has received on Saturday nights,” O’Carroll said at the time of the recommission.






















“Although our focus right now is on the Christmas Specials of our regular Mrs Brown’s Boys Show, we are excited that 2018 will see party time at the Browns’ house again.”





So, not long until you see Mrs Brown and her eccentric family on your screen again

 The actor is a patron of the Les Hoey MBE Dreammaker Chairty and says it's time that bands and artists give a bit more back to good causes instead of asking for 'horrendous' fees to perform for their events.     Mrs Browns Boys actor Gary Hollywood has slammed bands who charge charities too much to play at their event - and says it's time for a rethink. Gary is a patron of the Les Hoey MBE Dreammaker charity and gives his services for free to the cause which helps children with life threatening illnesses. He regularly attends their events and is happy to speak at them whenever is required, but was recently left stunned at the "horrendous" prices some musicians charge for appearances. Gary says many are charging as much as £20-25,000 for a mere half hour set - and that it is out of order. He told The Daily Record : "It’s horrendous what some of the musicians charge to play a charity gig. Some of the bands can come up to twenty to twenty five thousands f
