Monty Python star John Cleese is never one to mince words when it comes to his ex-wives. The Fawlty Towers star married his fourth wife Jennifer (above) four years ago – but not before he was forced to pay out an eye-watering £25million in divorce settlements to ex-partners Connie Booth, Barbara Trentham and Alyce Cleese over the years. “I have been married 34 years – wait, wait – to four different wives,” Cleese told Conan O’Brien. Something quick like a tree falling on them.” The outspoken actor, who made millions from Hollywood comedies including A Fish Called Wanda, also moaned that his daughters Cynthia and Camilla have “ended up like their mothers.” Cynthia was born in 1971 during his first marriage to Fawlty Towers co-star Connie Booth, while Camilla was born in his second marriage in 1984.
