Carry On star Julian Holloway left £25,000 to his model daughter Sophie Dahl in his will.

The actor and voice-over artist left the bulk of his £500,000 fortune to his stepson Joel Gregory, documents reveal.

Holloway, who died aged 80, in February, had £493,917 to his name at the end of his life, which was reduced to £480,891 after deductions.

Documents show he left £25,000 each to his daughter, Sophie Dahl, and stepdaughter, Kate Gregory.

But the rest of his estate was left to his stepson, Joel Gregory, who was also appointed as the will’s administrator, as reported by Need To Know.

Holloway, who lived in Poole, Dorset, at the time of his death played various characters in eight Carry On films including Carry On Doctor, Carry On Up The Khyber and Carry On Camping.

In 1977, he had a daughter, model-turned-author, Sophie Dahl, with British actress Tessa Dahl, daughter of children’s author, Roald Dahl.

At the time of his death, actress Sarah Doglas said: “I lost a dear friend yesterday and I’m so, so sad.

“I have known Julian Holloway since the early 70’s and he has been the best of friends to me all these years.

“Julian was the wittiest of men and we would laugh and laugh.

“He was a friend through thick and thin, first in London then LA then back home again.

“He was also the associate producer of The Brute (1977) but I had first met him professionally in 1973 on a BBC drama called “Secrets”.

“There will be lots written about him and all his wonderful work but right now he is just a dear and sorely missed friend.”

He was born in Watlington, Oxfordshire, in 1944.

His parents were actor and singer, Stanley Holloway and his wife, Violet.

He married twice, to actors, Zena Walker and Debbie Wheeler.
