Michael Barrymore: Emotional Pornography

TROUBLED Michael Barrymore tells today how he has come close to killing himself on two occasions.

On CELEBRITY JEREMY KYLE he says: “I’ve been taken off to the hospital a couple of times.

“Pills, too many pills, just chuck a load (in my mouth)... I bought them from the chemist. I think that was a cry for help.”

He also talks about the day he found Stuart Lubbock’s body in his swimming pool after a party at his home 13 years ago.

He says: “I just froze. That was my very first thought. I ran back into the house to get help, then the two boys started giving CPR and then the ambulance was called for and that in turn calls the police. And I was stood... just in complete shock.

“The first thing I did wasn’t run away, the first thing I did was run to get help.”

He breaks down in tears recalling his acrimonious split from wife Cheryl, who divorced him after he came out as gay in 1995. Cheryl died of lung cancer in 2005.

But Barrymore also says: “If I hadn’t (come out) I truly believe I would have died, because I believe that my drinking and my (drug) using was getting worse because of it.”

The Sun.

In emotional pornography the tears are the money-shot.

Of course, nothing would give the cnuts at The Sun more pleasure than if 'troubled star', Michael Barrymore, did commit suicide.

Mission accomplished!

PS I'm sure they'll put it on ITV Player eventually.
