Only Fools and Horses star Patrick Murray has died at the age of 68.

The actor, best known for playing Mickey Pearce, previously battled lung cancer but was given the all-clear. A year later the actor revealed his cancer had returned and spread to his legs and pelvis.

The 66-year-old previously battled lung cancer and was given the all-clear last year.

Actor Patrick played the role of Mickey in 20 episodes of Only Fools and Horses during its 22-year run from 1983 to 2003 and like Del Boy was known for wheeling and dealing in black market goods.

He was best known for his outlandish claims about his success in both business and with women, and frequently took advantage of Rodney’s inexperience in the trade.

After the show ended in 2003, he landed several big-screen roles including The Firm and Curse Of The Pink Panther, but eventually quit acting to become a taxi driver in Kent.

This is a breaking news story.
