Mrs Brown's Boys is back and cast tease plenty of laughs in brand new series
And former Dancing With The Stars finalist Danny admitted it's a 'great TV series'. Captioning a picture with his dad and show creator Brendan, he said: 'Tomorrow we film the last episode of the new Mrs Brown's Boys mini TV series. What a great TV series this is. I hope you guys laugh as much watching it, as we did filming it.'
On Thursday, the cast and crew tested the episodes in front of a live studio audience of around 200 people. This will be the fifth series of Mrs Brown's Boys, consisting of four episodes.
It's rumoured country singer Daniel O'Donnell could be making an appearance in the show after the star visited the Glasgow studios in April.
In a smiling photo posted to the official Mrs Brown's Boys X page, Daniel could be seen meeting the cast. The Donegal native looked as happy as ever as he put his arms around Jennifer Gibney and Eilish O'Carroll for the snap.
A caption over the image wrote: "A wee treat for mammy today with the unexpected visit of our dear friend Daniel O'Donnell. What an absolute tonic, but he's more my cup of tea #danielodonnell."
A second snap showed Daniel holding up a visitors pass which had the word "family" written on it. However, it has not yet been confirmed if Daniel is set to appear as a guest in an episode.

Ozzy Osbourne documentary 'to show star's final months' before tragic death
The Osbourne family is known for paving the way for reality TV, and it's now been revealed that a new documentary was being filmed during Ozzy Osbourne's final months. The Black Sabbath frontman passed away on Tuesday morning at the age of 76, surrounded by his loved ones. His wife Sharon and four children released a joint statement, saying: "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. "He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis." In a resurfaced interview, Ozzy's son Jack revealed that his father's final moments were captured on camera for a 10-part BBC documentary series called Home To Roost. The series was initially intended to follow Ozzy and Sharon as they returned to their Buckinghamshire home after 20 years in the US. However, it's now being reworked as a tribute to the rock star, reports the Mirror. Ozzy Osbourne in 2022 (Image:) According to Jack, the documentary will focus on Ozzy's time with Black Sabbath and the early 1980s. "Right now it'll take place over the Sabbath era and early 1980s. We're definitely going for a more adult rating for the film," he told the Mail's Weekend Magazine. "This is by no means going to be a fluff piece." Jack co-produced the biopic, which promises to showcase the chaos and mayhem that Ozzy was known for, as well as the love story between Ozzy and Sharon, which began in the 1970s. Ozzy Osbourne's youngest son, Jack, revealed that his late father was working on an autobiography titled "Last Rites" before his passing. The book is slated for release this autumn. In the weeks leading up to his death, Ozzy took to the stage one final time in his hometown of Birmingham, joining forces with his Black Sabbath bandmates at Villa Park. This farewell performance marked the culmination of a day-long celebration of Ozzy's five decades in the music industry, bringing together some of the industry's biggest names to pay tribute.

Black Sabbath's co-founder Tony Iommi shared his thoughts on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, reminiscing: "He loved what he did, he loved music, he loved playing together, and I'm so glad we had the opportunity of getting together again to do the [farewell] show." Iommi fondly recalled the experience, adding: "It was brilliant being with all the guys again, and the atmosphere, and it was brilliant for Ozzy because he really wanted to do that, he felt at home there and it was good for all of us."
