She’s an iconic sitcom star who rose to fame as one of Peckham’s finest, but at 64 she’s barely aged a day… can you guess who she is?

One of British comedy’s most legendary stars appears to have barely aged a day since rising to fame as a member of Peckham’s Finest as she enjoyed a night out with a friend in London’s Soho on Tuesday.

The actress, who is now 64, beamed as she enjoyed a night out with a friend, 35 years after she first appeared in the famous comedy.

Since her role in one of Britain’s most famous comedies, the actress has gone on to star in several dramas and also had a recurring role in EastEnders in 2016.

She has also regularly reflected on her role on the famous show, even reuniting with one of her co-stars on Loose Women in 2022.

Have you guessed who it is yet?

That’s right, it’s Only Fools and Horses star Gwyneth Strong.

The star cut a relaxed figure in a floral zip-up jacket and contrast print skirt as she headed out for lunch with her boyfriend.

The actress famously played Rodney’s long-suffering wife Cassandra in the legendary comedy, opposite acting heavyweights David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst.

While Cassandra mostly tolerated the money-making schemes of Rodney and his brother Derek “Delboy” Trotter, she also knew her fair share of hardships.

In moving scenes, the couple suffered a miscarriage, leaving Rodney to be comforted by his brother.

Cassandra and Rodney finally welcome their first child together in the show’s series finale in 2003.

In 2022, Gwyneth reunited with her former co-star Tessa Peake-Jones, who plays Delboy’s wife Raquel, on Loose Women.

During the performance, Tessa, who has continued to act in Grantchester, and Gwyneth revealed that they were originally only going to appear in one episode of the show in 1988, but were so popular that they remained part of the cast until the end.

In the interview, Tessa, who eventually tamed cycling dealer Del Boy, revealed that Loose Women was filmed in the same studio where they filmed the show in recent years.

She said, “The last time we were here was 20 years ago,” the actress admitted. “20 years ago I was walking up and down here and worried about when the warm-up was happening.

‘Will the audience like us? Will we be okay? Shall we remember our rules? That was all here in the ITV studio.”

Only Fools and Horses first hit screens in 1981 and focused on Peckham-based brothers Del Boy and Rodney Trotter in their quest to become millionaires through dodgy deals and hilarious schemes.

The series received numerous awards, including recognition from BAFTA, the National Television Awards and the Royal Television Society, as well as individual awards for both David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst.

The program ran for seven series and sixteen Christmas specials until 2003, with the final episode of series seven attracting a record audience for a British sitcom of 24.3 million viewers.

One of the most iconic moments was the Heroes and Villains episode where Del Boy and Rodney dressed up as Batman and Robin, and the moment the brothers finally became millionaires after discovering a rare watch.

Despite starring on the show together for years, Tessa and Gwyneth revealed that they had never filmed a scene alone together.

Gwyneth told the panel: “We’ve talked to each other all our lives because we made friends very quickly.”

‘It feels like we were working together, but only in group scenes, so we were never really alone together because that wasn’t the intention of the storyline. “It was about being their partners. I think we talked on the phone in a few episodes.”

Gwyneth added that when they first joined the cast of Only Fools, they had no idea their characters would become so popular.

Cassandra made her first appearance in Peckham in 1989 as a love interest for Rodney, with the pair eventually marrying and becoming parents, while Tessa’s character Raquel joined the cast in 1988.

“We didn’t see that coming at all, and going into it we didn’t know it would be for a full series,” Gwyneth told the panel.

‘We were both booked for an episode, it was all a bit last minute, so that helped in a way. We were excited to do one episode and we went from there.”

Since the show’s inception, star David also played Detective Inspector Jack Frost in the crime drama A Touch of Frost from 1992 to 2010, and earlier in his career he starred as Granville alongside Ronnie Barker in the sitcom Open All Hours.

He reprized his role in the sequel, Still Open All Hours, in 2014, and was knighted in 2005 for his services to drama.

Nicholas starred as Gary Sparrow in the hit show Goodnight Sweetheart, which aired from 1993 to 1999.

He also starred in an Only Fools and Horses prequel called Rock & Chips, with Inbetweeners actor James Buckley, in 2010, and in the BBC detective drama New Tricks as aloof retired Chief Inspector Dan Griffin.

The series also starred Lennard Pearce, who played Del Boy and Rodney’s Grandad until the actor’s death in 1984, with Buster Merryfield later taking on the role of Uncle Albert.

Veteran actors Roger Lloyd-Pack and the late John Challis also appeared as Trigger and Boycie, respectively.
