Jimmy Patton, who is the older brother of main stars Paul and Barry Chuckle, played a regular on the series between 1990 and 2009.
And now, the 84-year-old has announced that he’s found love with Amy Phillips, 25,
Despite being old enough to be his sweetheart’s great-grandfather, the retired comedian popped the question after eighteen months with Phillips.
‘I never thought I would find this kind of love again,’ Jimmy told The Sun.
And according to reports, Amy’s father - who himself is 16 years younger than Jimmy - is perfectly happy with the arrangement, describing the couple as ‘really good’ together.
But sadly that seems to not be the case for Jimmy’s side of the family, with his daughter telling the newspaper: ‘I’ve got a lot I could say, but I’m afraid it’s something between me and my dad.’
She did add that she would stand by him whatever.
Jimmy lost his wife Valerie five years ago.
