Michael Barrymore was a huge household name, before the tragic incident that changed everything 22 years ago – now he's hit back at 'terrible' ITV bosses in the Daily Star
Michael Barrymore was one of the best-known TV presenters in the UK when the body of Stuart Lubbock was found in his swimming pool on 31 March, 2001.
Now Michael has hit back at his former employer for its "terrible" treatment of him. He told the Daily Star: “It’s strange that companies don’t employ innocent people. Maybe you have to be guilty to get a job in TV, I don’t know. From my experience they don’t employ innocent people. "When everything went my confidence was completely smashed. It has taken me 22 years to get that back.”
He made several small TV comebacks, including on Celebrity Big Brother in 2006 and as a guest presenter on Channel 4's The Friday Night Project in 2006, but continued to experience negative publicity. Asked on the show if he had anything fresh to offer the police, he said: “I honestly wish I did”, adding that he had been “through 20 years of Hell”.
