Michael Barrymore, aged 55, a comedian, actor, and entertainer, has been arrested on suspicion of murdering Stuart Lubbock, who was found dead in Barrymore's swimming pool in 2001. Barrymore is also facing charges of sexual assault. Two other men, one aged 37 and the other aged 32, have also been arrested on the same charges.
UPDATE: Sky News have now confirmed the story and named Michael Barrymore.
Updated update: BBC report almost names Barrymore and gives other details.
Mainstream media begin to catch up. From the Telegraph.
"It has been reported he had split with his long-term boyfriend and is mixing in London showbusiness circles again" (Sky News). Is this another kiss and tell?
About bloody time too.
ReplyDeleteTheo Spark: As you say. It has now flashed up on the Press Association that it is indeed Michael Barrymore, and my contact on Ch4 is just on the story. The Guardian report was rather guarded but a quick check on his age was enough for me.
