Comedy legend Mel Brooks has given up on love at the age of 81. Brooks has been single since Anne Bancroft, his wife of 41 years, died in 2005 - and he is now happy to concentrate on his family, friends and career.

He says, "Nothing's worse than an old Jew dating. You really think I could listen to somebody ask me, 'What's your sign?' Absolutely not dating. I have grandchildren, dear friends, my show - that's all I want."
