ONLY Fools And Horses favourites Raquel and Cassandra will next week be reunited on screen for the first time in 15 years.

Actresses Tessa Peake-jones, 61, and Gwyneth Strong, 58, will chat about the characters on ITV’S Loose Women as part of a special “retro week”.

They have not shared screen time since the BBC sitcom ended in 2003.

Raquel was the long-suffering girlfriend of Del Boy Trotter (David Jason) while Cassandra was married to Del’s brother Rodney (Nicholas Lyndhurst).

A source said: “It will be a mustwatch for Only Fools fans.”

Peake-jones has since starred in shows such as Midsomer Murders and Grantchest­er while Strong’s credits include Silent Witness and Eastenders.

One Foot in the Grave star Richard Wilson will also appear on Loose Women with co-star Annette Crosbie.

Editor Sally Shelford said: “Each show will be filled with nostalgia.”
