Comedian Brendan O’Carroll is set to get his own TV chat show – as Mrs Brown.
BBC bosses want the foul-mouthed Dubliner to recreate a version of Caroline Aherne’s Mrs Merton chat show.
Insiders revealed there is a huge rush to get the show on the air after the success of Mrs Brown’s Boys D’Movie.
“Agnes Brown is irreverent, outspoken and incredibly nosey – perfect qualities for a chat-show host,” a source told the Mirror.

“The hope is it would be very much in line with The Mrs Merton Show, which was a huge hit.
“Things are at an early stage but senior staff are hopeful this can happen. It’s a fantastic idea and seems like a near-certain hit on paper.”
Previously Brendan went through with a pilot for a quiz show – Mrs Brown’s Celebrities – but he backed out of the show.
