Jennifer Gibney has said her husband Brendan O'Carroll is very excited to see her take part in one of their favourite shows, Strictly Come Dancing.

The Mrs Brown's Boys stars are married to each other and Jennifer has joined this year's line-up for the BBC dancing contest.

Asked whether Brendan had been helping her practise, she said: "For years I've been practising with Brendan. He's really excited about me taking part.

"We both love the show and it's the opportunity to learn a skill."

She added: "He said to me, he's very proud of me, but he wasn't waiting on this to be proud of me."
