“I first set eyes on Gill, a floor assistant at [a TV studio] in Leeds, when she was sent to meet me in the studio car park.” He added: “She was 20 years younger, we were living in different parts of the country, and I was still numb with grief. Yet work kept bringing us together and fondness turned to love.”

Gill Hinchcliffe and David Jason welcomed a daughter Sophie Mae Jason on 26 February 2001, in Stoke Mandeville Hospital, Aylesbury when Gill was 41 and David was 61. According to David, the couple “didn’t choose her name until after she was born. She’s not named after anyone in either of our families, but we just liked the name and it seemed to suit her perfectly.”

In an interview with The Telegraph in 2019, David mentioned that at times he misses “being able to do all the things a younger father would do with their child. He said that “Sophie is lovely – when she was a baby and a small child, she was so funny.” He also admitted that: “I still call her ‘the warf’, because she loved Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, but she couldn’t say the ‘D’. Even now, I’ll say, ‘Where’s the warfling?’, and my wife will say, ‘Oh, she’s gone out.’”

David Jason also has a daughter Abi Harris, who was born in 1970. She is the product of the brief relationship between David and actress Jennifer Hill. Previously, David didn’t know he had a daughter but he was “delighted” after he discovered that he had a daughter. David has chosen to build a relationship with his Abi daughter and her son Charlie.

Abi is reportedly an actor. She is said to have appeared in audio dramas Doctor Who: The Eighth Of March, Strange Chemistry, and The Avengers: The Comic Strip Adaptations Volume 7. David Jason told the Mirror: “To say it was a surprise to find out I had a daughter from years ago is an understatement. However, on settling with the news, I am delighted that I am now able to get to know Abi and so we meet up when we can.”

Speaking of how his wife Gill Hinchcliffe and daughter Sophie Mae have received the big news, David said: “My wife, Gill, and daughter, Sophie, have been very supportive and understanding and have embraced Abi and welcomed her and her young son into her now wider family.” He added: “We hope we are all allowed the privacy to continue our new relationship and get to know each other more and more.”

Abi Harris said: “In discovering my father’s identity, I am starting to piece together my own. Of course, I am tickled pink and incredibly proud but, frequently, completely overwhelmed with sorrow for the years we have lost. After a measured start, now I hope we can consciously make time to see each other more often, so that I can master the art of being the best big sister and build a ­meaningful father-daughter relationship in its truest sense.”

Reacting to her husband having a child, Gill Hinchcliffe said: “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.

“We obviously waited for the right moment to tell Sophie as it was a massive surprise for her too. David took her off and worded it beautifully and she took it all in with great understanding and maturity.”
