The 'Monty Python' and 'Fawlty Towers' actor and creator was left reeling after a divorce settlement from third wife Alyce Faye Eichelberger in which he was ordered to give £8million in cash and assets.

Approaching retirement age, Cleese has had to launch a new one-man show to pay for his £600,000 a year settlement to Eichelberger for the next seven years, which he reports leaves his ex-wife richer than him.
