Brendan O'Carroll turned down the chance to have Mrs. Brown appear on 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The 59-year-old comedian claims he was approached by the BBC to have his 'Mrs. Brown's Boys' alter-ego Agnes Brown appear on the celebrity dance contest as part of their Christmas special but decided against it.
He told BBC One's 'Sunday Morning Live': "The idea had been mooted it would be nice in the Christmas special that just once dance with Len [Goodman] and Mrs. Brown would be nice.
"It's nice to have a hybrid and a crossover between Mrs. Brown and something else but the truth of it is 'Strictly Come Dancing' doesn't need me or Mrs. Brown.
"It's a great entity in its own right. I have to protect [Mrs. Brown] from Len."
However, Brendan is looking forward to seeing his wife and on-screen daughter, Jennifer Gibney, take to the dancefloor in the upcoming series, for which she's been paired with professional dancer Tristan MacManus.
He said: "I am so, so proud. Pride in your family or pride in your partner or someone else gives you more confidence."
He added: "I am not a great dancer and not an enthusiast of dancing. I would help in any way I can and the only way I can really help is to let her know that she has all the talent and all the ability necessary to do this and all she had to is put her arms out and fly."

Dynamo has announced the dates of his live tour.
The 31-year-old magician announced earlier this year that he would not be making another series of his 'Dynamo: Magician Impossible' series as he wanted to create his own stage show and he's now announced a number of dates in two UK cities.
He said of his decision: "After four series of Magician Impossible I was ready for a new challenge and for a long time I have wanted to take my show to the stage.
"I am hoping that like I did for magic on TV, I can reinvent the live magic show and produce something fans have never seen before.
"This something I have been working towards for the last 20 years and I can't wait to amaze audiences with what I have in store for them."
The first leg of his live tour will kick off on October 14, 2015 with five dates at Manchester's 02 Apollo followed by five nights at the Eventim Apollo in London.

Joe Jonas is reportedly dating his brother's ex-girlfriend.
The 25-year-old singer has been spending a lot of time with 19-year-old Gigi Hadid, a model who Nick Jonas, 22m romanced before embarking on a relationship with Olivia Culpo.
A source told RadarOnline.com: "Joe and Gigi have hung out a few times this week actually.
"They have visited a museum together and even went to the park together on Thursday.
"Nick and Gigi [had] an ongoing thing. The fact that Joe and Gigi are hanging out now is just strange."
And Joe's ex-girlfriend Blanda Eggenschwiler is said to be furious about his new romance as she is friends with Gigi.
The source said: "Blanda is absolutely furious."
Blanda is said to have told friends: "Nick and Gigi dated several times in 2012 and 2013."
Joe and Blanda split up last month but it was claimed earlier this month that the singer was feeling "torn" about the break-up.
A source said: "On the one hand, he cannot stand her. And on the other hand, he is still in love with her."
And it was claimed Joe had been relying on Nick and older brother Kevin, along with close friends, to get him through the split.
The source added: "We are all totally there for him. He is doing so much better without her and we're just happy she is gone. Joe is such a sweetheart and it is just good to have him back and present."

Leonardo DiCaprio has been honoured for his environmental work.
The 'Wolf of Wall Street' actor accepted the Clinton Global Citizen Award from World Wildlife Fund CEO Carter Roberts at the Sheraton Times Square in New York yesterday (21.09.14) and urged people to "put environmental issues at the forefront of the human agenda."
He said: "Climate change is compromising the very livability of our planet.
"Less than three percent of all philanthropic giving goes toward protecting and preserving our environment," he explained, before urging people "to put environmental issues at the forefront of the human agenda."
Earlier in the day, Leonardo, 39, joined stars including Edward Norton, Mark Ruffalo, Sting and Evangeline Lilly in taking part in the People's Climate Change march.
The 'Titanic' star's award comes a few months after he pledged $7 million for ocean conservation at the State Department's Our Ocean Conference in Washington, where he called for moves to curb "plundering the ocean and its vital resources" as he vowed to make a hefty donation from his self-titled foundation for "meaningful conservation projects" over the next two years.
He said: "[I'm] here as a concerned citizen of this planet who believes this is the most important issue of our time.
"What we need is sustained activism and courageous political leadership. We cannot afford to be bystanders in this pre-apocalyptic scenario."

David Bowie invited Sir Mick Jagger to orgies at his home and let The Rolling Stones frontman have sex with his wife, a new book has claimed.
The 'Space Oddity' singer was married to Angie Bowie - with whom he has a son, Zowie Bowie - from 1970 until 1980 and upcoming book 'Bowie: The Biography' states the sexually open couple would host debauched evenings at their property on Oakley Street in Chelsea, London.
The promiscuous pair converted their sitting room into 'The Pit', complete with a fur-covered bed where guests could indulge in a variety of erotic activities.
Model-and-socialite Vicki Hodge has claimed Mick was a regular at the parties and David would let his friend make love to Angie while he watched.
Vicki - the girlfriend of London gangster John Bindon - revealed in the book: "Angie and David used to have the most amazing orgies at Oakley Street. Mick Jagger used to come there and be involved. John told me that David watched while he had sex with Angie."
David's ex-assistant Tony Zanetta claims David - who is openly bisexual - never got jealous about what occurred at the parties because he had a very liberated attitude towards sex.
Tony said: "Sex wasn't any big deal for him and Angie - it was like shaking hands at the end of the evening. To him, it was about being adored."
After divorcing Angie, David went on to marry model Iman, with whom he has a teenage daughter, Lexi.

Ringo Starr is selling his £20 million estate.
The Beatles drummer, 74, and his wife, former Bond girl Barbara Bach, have put their 200-acre abode, Rydinghurst in Surrey, south east England, up for sale because they no longer spend enough time in the six-bedroom mansion.
They told the Sunday Times newspaper: "We have spent 15 years at Rydinghurst and will always have wonderful memories of our time there.
"It is a beautiful home with some very special features, but we are, reluctantly, unable to spend as much time there as we would wish.
"With commitments in America and our family in all England, we will continue to divide our time between Los Angeles and London."
The couple - who married in 1981 - splashed out £2 million on the plush property back in 1999 and it is expected to reach between £10 million and £20 million when it goes on sale this week.
As well as 200 acres of land, the house boasts several impressive features including two music rooms, a cinema, a cottage and a coach house which comes with its own cottage and staff quarters.
What's more, the abode is surrounded by picturesque lakes, a helipad, a stable block and an indoor riding school.
Nicky Haslam, the interior designer who gave the abode a makeover after the couple bought it from Count George Bardeau in 1999, admitted the music rooms and the kitchen are particular house highlights.
He said: "I was given pretty much free rein with the decor, but Ringo wanted a music room for his gold records and drum kits, and there's another big music room, more like a ballroom, for performing.
"There's a wonderful kitchen, as they both like to cook and have specific food requirements.
"It had to be big enough to eat in, and there's a pretty herb garden outside."
When they sell their Surrey home, Ringo and Barbara, 67, will have just one home remaining in the UK, off the King's Road in Chelsea, west London, to go with their property in Los Angeles.

Lucy Mecklenburgh is reportedly dating Gethin Jones.
The former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star is rumoured to have been on a number of dates with the television presenter in the past few months and the pair are even said to have attended the Give Me Sport magazine party in London together last month.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "They do make a lovely couple but are taking things one date at a time."
Former 'Blue Peter' presenter Gethin has remained tight lipped about his love life since his split from fiancee Katherine Jenkins in 2011 after four years of dating.
He's since been linked to actress Kelly Brook and fellow presenter Amanda Byram but has denied any romantic involvement with either of the beauties.
Meanwhile, Lucy - who was previously attached to TOWIE co-stars Mario Falcone and Mark Wright - has recently had to deny rumours she's been dating her 'Tumble' partner Billy George.
She said earlier this month: "I don't know if I was hoping to meet someone [special] on Tumble.
"Maybe if I had a big, hunky, 6ft 2in gymnast, I might. But I don't."
Billy also denied the romance, saying: "The rumours about me and Lucy are all brilliant because they are all f**king bulls**t."

James 'Arg' Argent, Lauren Pope and Chloe Sims were left terrified after a technical fault on their flight to Ibiza meant they were forced to turn back.
The trio - all of whom star in popular reality show 'The Only Way is Essex' - were among the cast jetting off to the Spanish island to film special episodes.
However, their flight from Gatwick airport encountered technical problems, causing Arg to text his on/off girlfriend Lydia Bright: "We were halfway from London but had to turn back because of technical s**t."
The Sun newspaper reports the drama continued when the Towie cast were in the airport, where a fellow passenger was tasered by police.
Towie star Elliott Wright explained how his girlfriend Chloe, 31, saw the incident.
He said: "There was someone screaming in the terminal and police tasered them. My Chloe said things couldn't get any worse.
"She is a nervous flyer and is beside herself."
The man at the centre of the incident was suspected of being drunk.
The TOWIE crew, meanwhile, were forced to board a coach to Luton, where they got another flight to Ibiza, arriving eight hours late.

David Walliams wants to quit 'Britain's Got Talent' before people get sick of him.
The 'Big School' star has confessed that although he loves his role as a judge on the ITV talent show, he doesn't want to carry on doing it forever as he doesn't want to become boring to viewers.
Quizzed on whether he would be returning, despite his two-year contract running out at the end of the last series, he told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I haven't decided yet. I'd like to do it if I can but we're still trying to work it out.
"It's a brilliant show to be a part of and it's really fun. But you don't want to do it forever."
The 43-year-old comedian - who has 16-month-old son Alfred with supermodel wife Lara Stone - added: "There's a point where people get sick of people. You want to jump out and stop before that moment. But it's difficult to know when that is."
Meanwhile, Alesha Dixon - who has appeared on the judging panel alongside David, Simon Cowell and Amanda Holden for the past two series - has revealed she'd love to return at the same time as continuing her music career.
She said previously: "If I had it my way, I'd be back. But it's up to Simon, so we'll see.
"There's no point being a judge on a show when I'm not doing the thing that got me to that position."
It is so far unknown as to whether Simon and Amanda will be returning either.

Stephen Fry wasted an "enormous" amount of time and money on cocaine.
The 'QI' host has opened up further about his struggle with drug addiction, depression and his bipolar disorder in latest autobiography 'More Fool Me', claiming he wasted far too much time and money on drugs in the past.
In an extract from the book, printed in the Daily Mirror newspaper, he said: "I have been utterly candid about a period of my life in which I spent an enormous amount of time and money on cocaine powder.
"I know how stupid that is, but I know better people than me have found themselves on the same path."
Meanwhile, the 57-year-old comedian - who admitted last year that he'd attempted suicide in 2012 - hinted last week that he had recorded a cameo in US comedy animation 'American Dad!' before jokingly adding that he wouldn't be completely satisfied in his career until he appeared on long-running medical drama 'Casualty'.
He wrote on Twitter: "That was fun - just played an @AmericanDadFOX character. My life is complete. Oh wait, I haven't been on @BBCCasualty yet."

Billy Joel helped clean a New York beach on Saturday (20.09.14).
The 'Uptown Girl' hitmaker arrived at Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park by boat with Governor Andrew M. Cuomo at around 10am for the 21st annual Oyster Bay Beach and Harbor Cleanup and walked ashore carrying black garbage bags, which were to be filled by community volunteers and town employees who had joined the initiative.
Billy, who helped the politician seed oysters, dumping crates of them into the water, said: "It's good to see the support to keep the bay healthy.
"Our oysters and our clams that come out of this bay are the best."
The annual beach clean is organised each year by the Town of Oyster Bay, the North Oyster Bay Baymen's Association and Friends of the Bay.
Caring Billy, 65, recently donated all the profits from his Madison Square Garden birthday gig in New York to an animal shelter.
He was hailed a hero by Beth Stern - the wife of controversial US DJ Howard Stern - for donating proceeds from the show to help her with Bianca's Furry Friends, a facility at the North Shore Animal League America in the city that will provide a cage-free home for shelter cats and dogs.
She said: "Billy is my hero. Howard and I call him 'Saint Billy.' Because of his huge donation, we are on target to break ground next spring!"
Beth also revealed Billy, 65, and his girlfriend Alexis Roderick have adopted two rescue dogs.

Gwen Stefani's oldest son is "incredibly sensitive".
The No Doubt singer - who has three boys, Kingston, eight, Zuma, six, and Apollo, eight months, with husband Gavin Rossdale - feels "lucky" to have been able to take some time out from her career because her eldest child "really needed" her to be around.
She said: "The last three years were really hard. My oldest turned five, and he's an incredibly sensitive person. I had to do a lot of work.
"In a way it was really lucky I was home during that time, because he really needed me during that time period."
The 44-year-old beauty admits it can be tough juggling work and family life and has found the best approach to be taking things a day at a time.
She explained to the New York Daily News newspaper's Confidenti@l column: "One thing I've learned is not so much to worry about the future but live in the moment. It really does help with the stress."
And while she may be busy with her personal and professional life, Gwen will always take time with her appearance and admits she would make as much effort at all times even if she wasn't in the public eye.
She said: "If nobody was looking I would be the same.
"I love clothes, I always have. I've always loved getting made up. I don't even like going out, I like getting ready to go out."
