Fans of Brendan O’Carroll’s comedy show Mrs Brown’s Boys have been warned to stay vigilant over scammers pretending to be members of the cast.

The fraudsters have been using social media and private messages to approach fans while pretending to be cast members including Danny and Brendan O’Carroll. They have asked them to purchase merchandise and “win free gifts”.

But the company behind Mrs Brown’s Boys have said that they will never contact fans directly. They are urging fans to ignore and delete any such approaches as they are a scam.
