Iconic actor John Challis has sadly passed away aged 79, following a long battle with cancer.

Best known for playing Boycie in Only Fools and Horses, Challis had an illustrious TV and theatre career; working on a number of popular sitcoms and on stage for the RSC, as well as being a regular face in pantomime across the country. In more recent years, he toured his solo show Only Fools and Boycie, which was scheduled to go out on the road again this year but was cancelled due to Challis’ ill health.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time.
