David Jason’s health battle – ‘bionic’ body part, coronavirus hell and collapse horror
Sir David Jason had to push back a recent event to undergo emergency surgery to have "a new bionic body part fitted" after admitting he suffered from a serious bout of Covid
Sir David Jason is renowned for his iconic portrayal of Del Boy in the beloved BBC sitcom Only Fools and Horses.
He played the iconic role from September 8, 1981 to December 25, 2003.
Knighted in 2005 for his exceptional contributions to acting and comedy, Sir David’s off-screen life diverges significantly from the zany adventures of Del Boy.
Whilst he’s enjoyed fame and fortune and has a beautiful family – the actor’s private life has been marred by a series of health struggles.
In a recent update on his health, the 83-year-old actor revealed that he is undergoing surgery, sparking concern and well-wishes from his devoted fans.
After he was forced to pull out of an Only Fool’s convention last month, the Daily Star has taken a closer look at his health battles over the years.
