Mrs Brown’s Boys star Jennifer Gibney is set to be unveiled as a Strictly Come Dancing contestant.
Brendan O’Carroll’s wife will be one of the last three dancers to be revealed for the BBC show.
The TV actress will then be following in Nicky Byrne’s footsteps and representing Ireland on the show.
She is said to be looking forward to donning the sparkly outfits for the show – which comes while Mrs Brown’s Boys takes a break after the success of the movie.

Already the Xtra Factor’s Caroline Flack, This Morning presenter Alison Hammond and singer Pixie Lott are among those confirmed to compete.
“BBC bosses are chuffed to bits with the casting this year and cannot wait for the series to get started,” a source told the Sun.
“There is a great mix of personalities doing the show from pop princesses to sports stars. Hopefully everyone will find someone they can really get behind”
She will first be seen when Strictly Come Dancing returns to TV screens on Sunday, September 7.
