Sir David Jason has issued a health update to fans after being forced to drop out of a public appearance, having had to set a new later date for the event.

Jason, 83, was due to attend the Only Fools and Horses Convention in Milton Keynes this October, where he planned to meet fans of the long-running sitcom, alongside other stars who have featured in the show.

However, the actor has been forced to reschedule the event due to a health issue.

He has had to push the dates back to January 2024.

The convention will now be held on 13 and 14 January 2024, with an announcement on its website explaining: “Following on from our successful conventions over the past 3 years, Sir David Jason is returning once again in person to meet his fans, along with other star guests who have appeared on our screens as part of our beloved Only Fools & Horses.

“Following our recent announcement with the change of Convention date we are delighted to confirm we will be returning across the weekend of Saturday 13th & Sunday 14th January 2024 to Double Tree Milton Keynes – MK Dons DoubleTree by Hilton, Stadium Way West, Milton Keynes, MK1 1ST.”

Jason himself also confirmed the news, explaining that he’d had to push the date back due to a health problem and requires a ‘new body part’, although he did not specify which one, joking people ‘will all want one’.

Jason starred in the sitcom as Derek 'Del Boy' Trotter.

He said in a statement: "I am so very sorry for the disappointment and all the inconvenience it may cause but we are having to change the date of the forthcoming Only Fools and Horses Convention.

"Unfortunately I have just been advised I need a new bionic body part fitted. I won’t tell you which part it is, or you will all want one! And don’t worry it’s not being supplied by Monkey Harris, it’ll be the pukka gear.”

Lovely jubbly!

Jason continued: "I really hope everyone will be able to make the new date (January 13th and 14th) and we can all have something cushty to look forward to!

“These events are such an enjoyable celebration for myself and the rest of the Only Fools cast, and it is such a privilege to meet so many of you, but I want to do it with the smile on my face I always have had."

Jason reiterated his ‘sincere apologies’, saying the date change was not a decision he took ‘at all lightly’.
