Mrs Brown’s Boys star Gary Hollywood and his wife Cherylanne have announced that their family of three is now a
family of four with the arrival of their second baby.
The Scottish actor is best known for his role as Dino Doyle in the Irish comedy series.
Gary and Cherylanne are overjoyed to welcome their “rainbow” baby after suffering a miscarriage last year.
The couple found out they were expecting the week after Cherylanne’s birthday, and while many wish for new jewellery or clothes, Cherylanne, “just wanted a baby.”

“When we found out we were pregnant again, it just felt like all our dreams came true,” he told OK Magazine.
When asked about the labour, Gary cheekily responded, “Let’s just say an episode of Coronation Street lasts longer.”
Cherylanne headed into hospital around 7:15pm to find out she was already 7cm dilated and at 8pm Carter John Hollywood was born, weighing 7lbs 4oz.
The couple decided on John as a middle name after Gary’s late father as well as it being Cherylanne’s father’s middle name. The couple have another son together, Ollie, who was excited to become a big brother besides the fact that he originally wanted a little sister.

Cherylanne confessed that she brought four-year-old Ollie to the gender scan. When the nurse revealed that the gender of the baby was a boy, an upset Ollie declared that his mother “should have eaten more pink food.”
While Gary reflected on how he “missed out” on raising his other children from his previous marriage with Saron Mudie: “I was chasing my career and money and not really cherishing the moment.”
Now in his 40s and no longer a part of Mrs Brown’s Boys, the actor feels as though he can “enjoy every minute”. We wish the couple the best with their new bundle of joy!
