Rory shared that he has been working with specialist to try to get to the bottom of the problem.

“He’s just strapped my foot up and it’s given me some relief from the pain. I’m back with Will on Friday and an X-Ray tomorrow. It’s no fun getting older.”

Taking to Twitter, the actor shared: “I’m getting a lot of messages asking if I’m going back on tour with Mrs Brown’s Boys this summer. No, I’m not.”
Continuing, Rory shared: “I live in Carrigstown in Fair City on RTE One now. I’ve recently signed a contract that will see me living there until the end of 2023 at least.
“James Larkin Court, where the Browns live is an old memory. But if you see them on their tour, at their meet and greets after each show, tell them I said hello.”
Rory’s fans praised his decision to remain playing Bosco in Fair City.
One person wrote: “To be honest, I think we all just wish and hope so much that you were returning, even though we know it’s not a sure thing.”
“Love your character in Fair City Rory, it makes a change from seeing you in a comedy role. I love watching your jokes on social media too,” a second said.
