Mrs Brown’s Boys creator Brendan O’Carroll has been criticised for joking about Tyler Perry’s “colour” while appearing on The One Show.
The One Show viewers were shocked by O’Carroll’s comment, which was described by one viewer as “offensive at best”.
The pair appeared on The One Show on Tuesday (22 February), when presenter Lauren Laverne asked O’Carroll if he would return the favour and give Perry a cameo on Mrs Brown’s Boys. “I don’t know if we could afford him, he’s very expensive,” O’Carroll said, with Perry saying: “Please answer that, I want to hear that.”
“What did I just hear from Brendan O’Carroll?” one incredulous viewer questioned, while another echoed: “Did Brendan O’Carroll just say that?”
