Speaking to the Mirror, he 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.'Ībi's belief she was related to Sir David grew stronger after realising she shared the same shaped nose as him, and her parentage has now been confirmed.

Previously Sir David was in a long relationship with Myfanwy Talog, a Welsh actress who died from breast cancer in 1997. Sir David married Lady Gill in 2005, four years after the birth of their child. The news came as a shock to Sir David, as well as his wife Gill Hinchcliffe and daughter Sophie Mae, but the family say they have since welcomed Abi and Charlie with open arms.Ībi's mother is 86 and lives in Brighton. She is the daughter of actress Jennifer Hill - who starred in Octopussy and had a brief relationship with Sir David in a stage production of Dylan Thomas's Under Milk Wood, also starring Hi-de-Hi's Ruth Madoc and Windsor Davies from It Ain't Half Hot Mum, at the May Fair Theatre in London.Ībi is also an actress who appeared in a revival performance of Under Milk Wood in 2008 in which Sir David and her mother also took part.įriends who saw the legendary actor and Abi standing next to each other remarked on their similar facial profiles, especially her nose, and as the years went past, she worked up the courage to find out the truth. The actor, 83, who previously believed he only had one 22-year-old daughter, has 'welcomed' Abi Harris and his grandson Charlie, ten, into the Jason family - and they spent their first Christmas together last year.Ms Harris, who was born in 1970, is seen in a newly released photo smiling alongside her father as they chatted together following the joyous news. Sir David Jason was today pictured meeting his long lost daughter - after she wrote to him asking for a paternity test when friends noticed they have a similar nose.
