Actor Kelsey Grammer has been granted a divorce, clearing the way for him to remarry later this month.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Maren Nelson agreed to grant him and his wife Camille a divorce and settle financial issues at a later date.

Mrs Grammer has estimated in court filings that their shared property may be worth £12.4 million.

The couple married in 1997 and have two young children together.

Lawyers for the former Frasier star and Mrs Grammer, who appears in The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, told the judge they will set aside £1.4 million while financial arrangements are handled.

The 55-year-old actor told David Letterman last month that he plans to marry Kayte Walsh some time in February.
