Goodbye Boycie

DEL Boy actor David Jason led tributes to Only Fools And Horses co-star John Challis last night.

The Boycie comedian, aged 79, died “peacefully in his sleep, after a long battle with cancer”.

ONLY Fools And Horses actor John Challis will be missed “every day”, his on-screen wife Sue Holderness said last night.

John, who played Boycie on the hit BBC sitcom, died yesterday aged 79 after a battle with cancer.

Sue, who played Marlene, said: “Marlene without Boycie – it’s unthinkable. John Challis was my partner on screen and stage for 36 years and my beloved friend. R.I.P. darling John. I will miss you every day.”
