Only Fools and Horses star Patrick Murray has part of liver removed after cancer diagnosis

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

The actor, who is best known for his role as Mickey Pearce in the hit BBC comedy, previously opened up about his lung cancer diagnosis last year and delighted fans when announcing he was 'cured'. After the sitcom ended in 2003, Murray, 66, went onto star in The Firm and Curse of The Pink Panther, but he later quit acting and worked as a taxi driver in Kent before.

He was later forced to retire completely due to poor health. The actor 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 fresh news. He said: "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.

"I am a two-person, that’s for sure. High fives to all at Kings College Hospital."
