The funnyman was ticked off when the paparazzi caught him shopping and decided to stay on his trail - and so he snapped the guy, posted the picture online and asked fans to help him get the guy's name.

In a series of tweets, the Monty Python star wrote, ""Darling Twits, you can help me with a quick experiment... Some Paparazzo guy caught me this morning, followed me home... not content with snapping me, he wrote down my address (no doubt to sell).

""Does anyone recognise the guy?""
