BREN'S TOON JOY Mrs Brown’s Boys star Brendan O’Carroll to star in Daisy & Ollie cartoon after being approached by Jason Manford
The Dublin actor was over the moon when Manford offered him a part in new episodes of CHF Entertainment's hit animation
BRENDAN O’Carroll is set to star in a kids’ TV show after being snapped up by producer, and comedian, Jason Manford.
The Mrs Brown’s Boys star will play the part of a wrinkly grandad in hit pre-school cartoon Daisy & Ollie.

And the Dublin actor was over the moon when Manford offered him the part.
The Finglas funnyman said: “I was absolutely delighted to be asked to voice a new character for such a new and exciting show like Daisy & Ollie.
“As a grandad to six children in real-life, the role of Daisy’s grandad seemed like such a natural fit for me and my humour.
“I can’t wait for my grandkids to see me in cartoon form!”
The show will air on TV in the next few weeks
Daisy’s grandad will feature in three fresh episodes in the summer.
Apollo star Jason – who voices the part of Daisy’s dad – said he brought “extra sparkle” to the programme.
He revealed: “It has been so much fun working with Brendan on the new episodes.
His character will teach kids about ageing and the elderly
“Bringing in a new character such as Daisy’s grandad, only adds more depth to the show and having a house hold name like Brendan voice him has brought that extra sparkle to the programme.”
‘Why is grandad all wrinkly?’, ‘Was everything black and white in the olden days?’ and ‘Why do your glasses make me see fuzzy?’ are three of the big questions put to Brendan’s character by the ever-inquisitive Daisy and Ollie.
