Sir David Jason, the beloved actor who played Del Boy in the classic BBC sitcom 'Only Fools and Horses', has revealed that he recently had a bionic body part fitted. This comes after he pulled out of a convention earlier this month due to his health.
The 83-year-old explained that the bionic body part were bionic eyes, which had been fitted to stop him from 'weeping uncontrollably'. He needed a 'canalicular bypass', and jokingly said that when speaking to an eye specialist 'the ghost of my early years as a jobbing electrician awoke'.
Sir David went on to explain that he had needed 'Jones tubes' inserted, which could help stop the weeping. He joked that when he went for a re-fit a couple of years later, the doctor showed him 'the latest tubes hot out of the factory - and they had flanges on, to hold them in place a bit better. I hate to say I told you so, but...'.
In July 2022, Sir David contracted a 'seriously bad' version of Covid-19, which left him feeling so weak that he fell and couldn't get up again. It's believed that this may have triggered a condition called myalgia, which causes muscle aches and pain.
Sir David is now on the road to recovery, and if you're a fan of 'Only Fools and Horses', you can re-watch it on Prime Video.
