“I got married too young but that was the way it was. Everybody on the team was getting married and then it was my turn.”
Brendan was married to Doreen O’Carroll from 1977 to 1999, and they had three children together, Danny, Eric and Fiona.
Tragically their first child together, a son also called Brendan, had spina bifida and died just days after birth.
Brendan went on to marry Jennifer Gibney in 2005, who plays his on-screen daughter, Cathy Brown, in Mrs Brown’s Boys.
