Mrs. Brown's Boys star Danny O'Carroll hit back at a critic of the show with a sweet message that he received from a family.
The response came after a review of the show in The Independent said:
"It will take me a long time indeed to forgive the BBC for its infatuation with Mrs Brown's Boys, which is so awful that it is physically painful to sit through."
O'Carroll, who is Brendan O'Carroll's son in real life but plays Buster Brady in the show, took to Twitter with his reply:
"I received a message today to say 'thank you' because while they were watching Mrs Brown's Boys Christmas Special, they heard their autistic child laugh for the first time. That's the only review I care about".
