British television actor David Jason is to become a father for the first time at 60.
The actor and Gill Hinchcliffe, 41, are said to be delighted that she is expecting a baby next March.
The couple have been together four years.
Rumours of Jason's impending fatherhood started when the star of detective series A Touch of Frost, the comedy Only Fools And Horses and the comedy-drama The Darling Buds of May, turned down a high-profile show to be filmed in March and April.
The couple met after Jason's long-time partner, actress Myfanwy Talog, died of breast cancer at 49.
