Mrs Brown’s Boys wins NTA award

The award for situation comedy at last night’s National Television Awards went to Mrs Brown’s Boys.

The show’s writer and star Brendan O’Carroll accepted the award from EastEnders actress June Brown and thanked fans of the show. Many of which are his real-life family including his wife, his sister and his daughter, and joked: “The only person that’s not in the show is my mother and that’s because she is dead.”
