Only Fools and Horses star Patrick Murray, who played wheeler-dealer Mickey Pearce on the hit BBC sitcom, has died aged 68. The actor had previously battled lung cancer but was given the all-clear. In 2023, Patrick revealed his cancer had returned and spread to his legs and pelvis. His death was announced in a statement shared on The Only Fools and Horses Appreciation Society's Facebook page, which revealed that Patrick was a "regular attendee" of the group's conventions and praised his humour.

The statement read: "It is with heartfelt sadness that we report the death of our friend Patrick Murray - Mickey Pearce to so many. He was a regular attendee of our conventions and we will miss his humour and the joy he brought to many. 'Sleep well Pat!'"
