That hunk of a celebrity footballer, Thierry Henry, is heading for a nasty battle - he's told his ex-wife not to expect a cash settlement from him. Ex-wife, Claire Merry, has asked for $20 million; Henry has told her to prepare for a tough battle.

The Henry divorce was precipitated by a raunchy text message on the footballer's phone, he unfortunately scored an own goal when Madame Henry found it.

Merry and Henry, who sound suspiciously like a double act, were married for 4 years and have a daughter, Tea Henry.

Merry vowed to take Henry to the cleaners in an endeavor to get as much as possible out of him.

Not such a merry ending.
