The 72-year-old, who also starred in the hit sitcom Fawlty Towers, wed Jennifer Wade, 41, on the island of Mustique.

Cleese, who signed a deal with Hello! magazine, said: “I couldn’t imagine being with anyone but Jenny. And with my record that’s a remarkable thing to say.”

His new wife is a jewellery designer from Bath. Cleese has previously been married to Connie Booth, Barbara Trentham and Alice Faye Eichelberger who are all from the US. Cleese’s divorce from Eichelberger was a famously expensive one, costing him £12m. The comic and actor who starred in movies such as A Fish Called Wanda, subsequently launched his first solo comedy shows which he named the Alimony Tour.
