John, who is currently married to his fourth wife Jennifer Wade – who is 32 years his junior, took the opportunity to hit out at his former wives who are still alive – Connie Booth and Alyce Cleese.
He remarked: “No, I mean, I am quite happy if one or two of them would be dead. But I don’t have anything against them as people.”
