Barrymore files for bankruptcy
Beleaguered TV entertainer Michael Barrymore has filed for voluntary bankruptcy in England, his agent revealed today.
His insolvency has been brought about by a British Inland Revenue bill which has accumulated over the last 10 years, Chrissy Smith said.
It is the latest upset for the TV presenter whose career has been dogged by episodes of drink and drug abuse and revelations about homosexuality.
In 2001 he was at the centre of a scandal when the body of a man was found floating in the pool of his Essex home.
