Cleese: Accepting 'Jungle' offer would be like 'collapse of civilisation'

John Cleese turned down £200,000 to appear on 'I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!'.

The 71-year-old comedy legend - best-known for his role as Basil Fawlty in 'Fawlty Towers' - explained accepting the mammoth fee to feature on the ITV1 reality show would be akin to the "collapse of Western civilisation".
