Brendan O'Carroll accused of Gary Hollywood cover up
Brendan O'Carroll has been accused of lying about Gary Hollywood's exit from Mrs Brown's Boys in a bid to save the BBC comedy show. Over the weekend, Brendan told fans Gary was leaving for personal reasons and dismissed rumours of a rift between them. However, an insider at the show has now spoken out to slam Brendan's version of events and has claimed there has been a 'big money dispute' behind the scenes that has left other cast-members scared to speak out.
