Mrs Brown's Boys star Damien McKiernan's heartbreak over son's illness
A Mrs Brown’s Boys star has told of his heartbreak over his son’s debilitating illness.
Damien McKiernan took over from Rory Cowan, appearing in the Christmas Special last year when the Dubliner dramatically quit the show following a year stint.
Speaking about his year-old boy Theo, the new Rory explained how his family have been rocked by the news.
The year-old told the Irish Mirror: “He developed a very rare form of arthritis in his left leg, so rare that they didn’t know what it was.
“It’s never been recorded in Ireland or the UK before. There are only 60 cases worldwide.
“Eventually I said this was getting out of hand as his left leg was getting worse.

“I kicked up enough fuss and he got an operation just before Christmas.
“We stayed in hospital with him for a couple of weeks and we’ve been doing rehab with him ever since.

“He had the second operation on his right leg in June. The right leg was stronger, the left leg almost withered away.”

Remembering the forgotten cast members of BBC's Mrs Brown's Boys – with pay row stories and a 'very, very bored' actor
Many love it, legions more think it's a crime against TV – but one thing's for sure: none of us have been able to avoid the cultural juggernaut that is Mrs Brown's Boys.
The BBC sitcom has won fans and critics in similar measures in the decade or so since it first aired.
And Mrs Brown's hasn't been free from drama off-screen either – with several spats making headlines over the years and a tax scandal leaving the show temporarily mired in controversy.
But Brendan O'Carroll's comedic brainchild has barrelled on come hell or high water – leaving behind a string of actors in its wake.
So as storms rage over whether two big characters (Dino and Rory) were booted off the show or left on amicable terms, we felt it was about the right time to give a mention to some of the lesser-known lights – or those who've simply moved on – after they've helped make the show what it is.
