Only Fools and Horses star Patrick Murray diagnosed with second cancer

Only Fools and Horses star Patrick Murray has revealed he has had a part of his liver and a tumour removed after his second cancer diagnosis.

The 66-year-old, who is best known for playing wide-boy Mickey Pearce in the beloved sitcom, was diagnosed with lung cancer in July 2021 and underwent an operation in October to remove the tumour. 

He then told fans he was cured and that the tumour in his liver was shrinking in May last year.

However, in a new update to fans, Patrick shared the sad news: ‘I am going home today.

‘Minus half a liver and a tumour that the wonderful Prof Heaton removed last week.

‘I kept this under my hat that they’d discovered another primary cancer last year.

Once the iconic series ended, Murray went on to star in big screen movies such as The Firm and Curse of The Pink Panther, but he later quit acting and worked as a taxi driver in Kent. He was later forced to retire completely due to health issues.
