Sir David Jason sparks fan fears

Earlier today, Twitter users were sent into a state of panic when they saw #SirDavidJason trending.

Many jumped to the conclusion that something awful had happened to David.

One shared: “Saw David Jason trending, I nearly screamed.”

A second added: “Saw David Jason was trending…. Don’t do that to me Twitter!”

“David Jason trending. Don’t do to me!” said a third.

“Nearly had a bloody heart attack seeing ‘Sir David Jason’ trending,” said another.

‘Crisis averted’

“When you see David Jason is trending…. But then you realise, it’s just his birthday. What a legend,” said one relieved fan.

“Luckily, it’s just his birthday. Crisis averted,” said another.

Today marks the Only Fools and Horses star’s 83rd birthday, in fact.
