Popular Mrs Brown’s Boys star Rory Cowan has decided to quit the show.

The actor revealed that he was unhappy for a while during his work on the comedy, and feels it’s time to move on.

“I hadn’t been happy working for the Mrs Brown’s Boys company for the last 18 months to two years,” he told the Daily Mail.

“I feel that 26 years is enough so I decided it was time to go. I told Brendan on June 16 about my decision to leave. That’s when I handed in my notice.

“I was supposed to leave at the end of that week, but Brendan said that would be impossible and asked if I’d stay on until the end of the London O2 gigs. So I agreed to that.

“I’m not going into details about why I was unhappy. I did the final show, packed my stuff into a small Waitrose plastic bag and just left the venue.”

The 57-year-old explained that he’d like to take a short break and look into working in radio.

“I’d love to do something like a weekend radio show but we’ll see what comes down the line. For now I’m going to take a little time off.”

Rory, who played a character of the same name on the show, took to the stage as part of Mr Brown’s Boys the final time at London’s O2 Arena on Sunday.
