Mrs Brown’s Boys creator Brendan O’Carroll is being sued by his former co-star Gary Hollywood, it was reported.

O’Carroll faces allegations of constructive dismissal and discrimination in the workplace following a discussion about salary, according to the Daily Star Sunday.

Hollywood, 41, who reportedly resigned from comedy earlier this year, is also taking legal action against the BBC, the newspaper said.

Hollywood, who played Dino Doyle, told the Daily Star Sunday: “I feel like they didn’t pay me equally and they didn’t give me an explanation for the decisions.

“When I tried to figure it out, nothing was done. I was simply ignored. But I won’t take it anymore.

“They won’t treat me like that. This has gone too far. They shouldn’t do this to people.

“I am taking legal action. The papers have been presented to a court and the process has already started. “

Hollywood said it believes he was paid less than his co-stars for the spinoff show All Round To Mrs Brown’s.

He said that after raising the issue with the bosses, they pulled it out of special holiday episodes this year.

A BBC spokesperson declined to comment on the allegations.
