Mrs Brown’s Boys star Rory Cowan has confessed he hasn’t had sex for four years.
The gay TV star said it has been “impossible” to find a man after the comedy series hit the screen.
And the 54-year-old – who says he has “had sex with girls loads of times” – is “seriously” happy to remain single for forever.

“I have not had a partner in years. In about four years. I haven’t been with anyone in about four years. Once Mrs Brown hit the screen, it is impossible,” he said.
“What is impossible about it. Just say, for instance, that you were gay and I was on a date with you and we went to a bar or a restaurant.
“People would come over to talk to me and they would actually stand in front of you and totally ignore you. Nobody would put up with that.”
Rory said he made a decision a few years ago that he was “too old” to go out on Friday nights trying to find a man.

And the Mrs Brown’s Boys actor – who says his longest relationship was a year-and-a-half – doesn’t see himself settling down.
“I’m not really the settling down type. You see, that’s why I am so different to my character in Mrs Brown’s Boys,” he told the Sunday Independent.
“Relationships are a lot of give and take. That is not my life. I live my life exactly the way I want it.
“If you have to think, ‘Oh, maybe he won’t like that’ — straight away I will resent him. I want to do what I want to do.”
