GMB: Michael Barrymore fights back tears during interview
Michael Barrymore has been inspired to make a comeback to showbiz after quitting booze and undergoing an overhaul on his health.
The fallen TV presenter claims he now feels 30 years younger.
Michael told the Daily Star he hit rock bottom in the wake of partygoer Stuart Lubbock’s pool death at his home.
Michael, 71, said: “I went through a period where I wasn’t sure if people would point at me. I dealt with it by realising there is always somebody worse off.
“I had a mate who had a seven-year-old son with cancer. I said, ‘Would you take everything I’m dealing with for him to be well?’. And it was a no-brainer.

“I can’t tell you how happy I am now. I’m the busiest I’ve ever been and I’m the happiest I’ve ever been.
“I am probably the fittest I’ve been, too. I walk a lot, I eat well and I do what I love.
“I’m 71 and I feel fitter than I was when I was 40 when I was drinking and all that.”
