Mrs Brown’s Boys has proved itself to be television Marmite – people love it or they hate it.

Half the viewers tuning in for the BBC One sitcom – which features creator Brendan O’Carroll as foul-mouthed Agnes Brown – seemed to absolutely adore the show, but others DESPISED IT.

Many of those that loved it tweeted that they were struggling to control their giggles.

But plenty of Twitter users couldn’t see the funny side at all.

Having it on the first night after the end of the Olympics didn’t seem help either, as several viewers were still in mourning for the action from Rio.
