The Irish comedy star was offered £150,000 to enter the CBB house.
Producers were convinced he would be a sure-fire hit.
But Brendan, who dresses up as potty-mouthed Agnes Brown in the sitcom, turned them down.
He said the only house he wanted to stay in was his own.
“I just decided it’s not for me. I’d be homesick.”
Brendan, 62, said: “I had a tentative chat about Celebrity Big Brother but I just decided it’s not for me. I’d be homesick.”
The comic claims he and his co-stars have been asked to sign for several reality shows.
His son Danny – who plays Buster in the comedy – was invited to appear on I’m A Celebrity.
But Brendan explained: “He was asked to do the Jungle but turned it down. He hates spiders.”
Only Brendan’s wife Jennifer Gibney, who plays daughter Cathy in the sitcom, has done a reality show, appearing on Strictly 2014.
He explained: “I couldn’t do Strictly after seeing what Jenny went through. She was exhausted at the end of it.”
