G REUNITED WITH HER OLD PAL David n he dn’t ch bum more

-

we’re all getting on a bit, love and doesn’t stop. Mr Newbold and ssi’s affair is going great guns and ust praying we get series seven.

Clarke is a miracle, he’s 89 in y and still he’s turning out very tuff. It would be a great shame if ’t get another series because Roy wants to and David, who is 79, wants to, so why don’t we grab them?”

Sue, who has been married to husband Mark Piper since 1989, said: “I’m passionate­ly in l ove with Geoffrey Whitehead and he’s passionate­ly in love with me – our partners understand that it’s only on screen!

“I’m passionate­ly in love with my husband too and Geoffrey has a gorgeous partner.” But however much she loves playing Mrs Rossi, Sue knows she will always be Marlene to most viewers and loves meeting fans at Only Fools and Horses convention­s.

She said: “You hear such moving stories. There are people who’ve got serious us problems physically, , mentally, emotionall­y.

“So many say, ‘Only Fools and Horses is what we turn on to cheer ourselves up’. It’s been a lifeeline for many people. They hey say laughter is the best medicine. I honestly think Jh John S Sullivan lli saved the NHS a fortune.”

The Only Fools and Horses cast reunited in 2014 for Comic Relief, despite writer John Sullivan passing away in 2011, and Only Fools and Horses The

Musical is a huge hit in London’s West End, with Paul Whitehouse headlining as Grandad. But Sue is certain that there will be no more outings for the Trotters. She said: “It’d I be lovely to do more but I think it’s better to leave them as they are, little perfect pieces of television.” te

Sue S is still going strong and has no n plans to retire. In 2008 P&O asked her to be a celebrity talker on a Mediterran­ean cruise. c Now she has done 45.

She said: “I’ve seen some wo wonderful places and it means I’m never n really out of work.” This Thi month she is in Holby City and next month stars as The Wicked Queen in Rhyl’s panto Snow White. Let’s hope the bottom pinching is behind her (better watch out for those dwarves, though!).
