The Del Boy favourite says building mini rockets keeps him young after getting model making during Covid when presented with an immense amount of free time during lockdownSian Hewitt22:21, 24 Jul 2025Comedy legend David Jason has admitted he is spending his retirement happily launching model rockets into space.The Only Fools and Horses legend says he loves nothing more than spending his spare time building little rockets and then firing them into the sky to see how they fare. The 85-year-old said the mini spacecrafts are his passion, and the amateur astronaut work has become his number one hobby at home.Jason, who played cockney geezer Del Boy in the hit series, got into model making during Covid, when he was presented with loads of free time during lockdowns. And since then his passion has soared to new heights, because he “loves watching them fly”.The 85-year-old said the mini spacecrafts are his passionSo far he has managed to launch numerous space rockets and has very recently built a special 4ft 6in scale-sized recreation of the Saturn V rocket – which was used for the Apollo missions to the moon – that he is looking forward to launching any day now.He said: “I’ve built it and I’ve got it in my garage and I’m still waiting for the right time, for the weather to settle down, so I can launch it because it’s quite a big rocket. “It’s quite technical stuff.“The models that I build are rockets. The reason why they were rockets as opposed to aircraft is because if you had one with an elastic band you had to wind it up and then it would fly if you were lucky and then it would crash somewhere and that would be the end of it.“I decided rockets would be better because they would come down on their own parachute.”He loves building rockets(Image: Getty Images)The actor, one of the most loved in British TV history, spoke about his new found love of rockets while chatting on the Things We Like podcast. Once you’ve built it and you get it ready to fly you have the wrap the parachutes up in a certain way,” he explained.“But you can’t leave it wrapped up in the rocket for any length of time because it’s launched and the top end of the rocket pops out – because you have to have a special engine that has an explosive end on it – if the parachutes have been wrapped up for three or four months then it hits the deck before the parachute opens.”And he said the new hobby has helped keep him sharp in his older age. “When I was doing A Touch Of Frost, there was an awful lot of down time where you’re not on call all the time,” he said.Article continues below“There are scenes that don’t include you but they’re important to the show. So you get downtime. “The worst thing you can with your downtime is just sit in your caravan or wherever and slow down, slow down and then you nod off and you’re asleep.“They knock on the door, ‘Ready for you Mr Jason.’ “Then you’ve got to wake yourself up and it does take quite a lot of time to get the energy back.“So I thought I mustn’t do it that way because I get sluggish, I’ve got to keep my mind active. So I thought, ‘I know what I’ll do, I’ll build some models.’” More

EXCLUSIVE: Former Love Island contestant Samantha Kenny revealed the secret off-camera spot where islanders can escape for a mini meltdown amid all of the villa chaos16:42, 24 Jul 2025Updated 16:47, 24 Jul 2025Samantha hid outside the front for a cheeky escape(Image: ITV)Love Island’s Samantha Kenny has opened up about the behind-the-scenes mayhem of life in the villa and shared the hidden place islanders secretly sneak off to unwind.The Liverpudlian make-up artist, who featured on last year’s show, spilled the tea at Shein’s VIP O Beach party in Ibiza.Talking to Daily Star, Samantha revealed there was just one spot in the villa where she could really get away from the craziness – right outside the entrance.”Yeah, I’m a vaper and I’d always pop outside the front door for a vape and have a mini meltdown after all the madness going on inside,” she admitted. “It’s the only place I’d get a quiet minute on my own.”Samantha stunned at the Shein event(Image: Getty Images for SHEIN x O Beach)And it seems the truth of villa life is not as glamorous as it seems. Sharing with over 10 other islanders took its toll particularly when it came to cleanliness.”Ugh, the bathroom was gross overall, you never felt clean in there,” she said. “The shower was always dodgy and it just dripped and I was like, how am I supposed to wash my hair? I used the outside one once or twice but it’s not the same.”Samantha was spotted sunbathing at the trendy Ibiza party, wearing a cream two-piece bikini and brown cover-up from the online fashion retailer.

With the smoking and things they used to show as well. I used to say, ‘Give me a ciggy and a coffee in the morning by that firepit and I’ll give you the juiciest gossip ever.’And it seems she was quite the rebel during her time in the villa as well particularly when it came to the alcohol.”I drank mine quickly as well so I got a bit of a buzz,” she giggled. “The first few days I used to steal everyone’s drink. I would swap it and take theirs and drink theirs. They would shout at me from up above and be like ‘Samantha!’ They even threatened to give me a drinking ban but thankfully I never received one.”Article continues belowHave you joined Threads?
