Michael Barrymore, 72, is mobbed by fans in Barcelona as he gives a glimpse into his new life after moving to Spain


Michael Barrymore was mobbed by fans during a dog walk as he shared a glimpse into his first week living in Barcelona on Instagram on Friday.

The move to Spain comes more than 20 years after a young man was found dead in his swimming pool following a house party and Michael practically disappeared from public life. No charges were ever filed and the star ultimately sued Essex Police for wrongful arrest, although he dropped his compensation claim of £2.4m after a court ruled he was due 'nominal' damages. He is no stranger to the stage, having performed sell-out shows before his career collapsed in 2001 when Lubbock, 31, was found dead in the swimming pool of his Essex mansion after the star hosted a late-night party.
