John Cleese refuses to let go of Samantha Armytage's arm on Sunrise: 'Mr Cleese, what are you doing?'

Things took a turn for the awkward and weird when Monty Python stars John Cleese and Eric Idle dropped by Sunrise to talk about their upcoming comedy tour.

Co-host Samantha Armytage was caught off guard when John, 76, decided to yank her arm after their interview. Nothing off about that, right?

Watch above to see Sam's baffled reaction when the comedian refuses to let go.

Maybe John figured she could use a belly laugh after everything she's recently endured.

Critics targeted the presenter last week after her cringeworthy on-air skit with Sex and the City's Kristin Davis left the actress fuming. She was later disinvited to host a lunch for the star the following day.
