Actor Sir Ben Kingsley has told how he learned his wife was cheating - when he saw a photo of her and her lover on the net.

The star, 61, is divorcing German-born Alexandra who was snapped last month with Sammy Brauner, 41, in a Berlin nightclub. He said: "It came at a very, very vulnerable time for me and I was deeply, deeply shocked because until then I had no idea.

"It's very difficult for a man to learn on the internet that his wife has a boyfriend. Tragically, I had to file for divorce." The dad of four, married twice before, wed Alexandra, 30, in September 2003.

Just 10 months later she moved to Berlin after failing to settle at their Oxfordshire mansion. When Oscar winner Sir Ben, filming in New York, phoned her about the picture, she confirmed the affair. The Gandhi star said: "I'm feeling terrible disappointment and grief. "I love her and I don't know what the future holds. What can I say? I'm very hurt."
