Sir David Jason's wife Gill Hinchcliffe has spoken out after the actor found out he is father to a previously unknown daughter from a previous relationship. The Only Fools & Horses legend, 83, recently found out he is father to Abi Harris, 52, who was born in 1970 following a brief relationship with her actress mother Jennifer Hill.
Sir David's wife Gill, 62, has now shared her surprise at finding out about David's unknown daughter, and revealed how their daughter Sophie Mae, 22, reacted to the news about her new sibling. Gill, who married David in 2005, said she has felt "supportive" towards her husband and Abi, 52, from the very beginning, and is "pleased" everyone has "been so understanding".
She told the Mirror: “I can only imagine what a shock it was for David and Abi to realise their new relationship and so I felt very supportive towards them from the start. It is lovely to embrace Abi into our family and I’m so pleased that everyone has been so understanding." Gill went on to praise her daughter for handling the situation with "great understanding" and "maturity", as well as David who broke the news to Sophie.
“We obviously waited for the right moment to tell Sophie as it was a massive surprise for her too," Gill explained. “David took her off and worded it beautifully and she took it all in with great understanding and maturity.” David, who has also found out he is a grandad to Abi's 10 year old son, also heaped praise on Gill and Sophie in a separate statement, where he said they have "embraced Abi" in their family.
