Mrs Brown's Boys first aired on the BBC in 2011, and is one of the UK's best-loved sitcoms.

The show is so popular that Brendan has already signed a deal to make a new Christmas special every year until 2026.

The sitcom's first live show was screened in the summer of 2016, and Brendan has expressed his excitement at bringing it back for Halloween.

He said: "It’s a huge thrill to do another ‘live’ show for the BBC. It’ll be so wonderful to see them nervous all over again.

"We will be trying our best to stick to the script, but honestly a script is just a guideline. Bring it on."
