"I don't know if he is into it [Only Fools and Horses] now, but he seemed to enjoy it. It was really glamorous," added Atkinson, claiming that she was offered huge sums for kiss-and-tell stories, but declined. "When we did split, I got offered so much money to speak about him. I didn't want that," she said. The couple split at the end of 2007.
