Mrs Brown’s Boys star Jenny Gibney has admitted her dance partner has “the patience of a saint” to deal with her on Strictly Come Dancing.
The TV sensation has been paired with Bray native Tristan MacManus on the dancefloor – as they fly the flag for Ireland.
But the 57-year-old – whose other half is Brendan O’Carroll – said it has been hard work to even get through this week’s rehearsals.
She said: “I’m exhausted. I’m shattered. I’ve never been so tired in my entire life.

“If I get through it start to finish that’ll do me.”
They will be performing a dance to a version of Pharrell Williams’ Happy on the BBC tonight.
Previously Jenny insisted she wasn’t afraid of any criticism she gets on Strictly from the judges.
