Barrymore by Phil Taylor
Michael Barrymore's life has included some of the most headline-filled, sensational and terrible years any celebrity has endured. For this book he has given a series of uncensored interviews, laying bare his troubled childhood, his rise to fame, his feud with his family and his battles with alcohol and drugs. The book also reveals the truth about his fateful party. The volume details the truth behind: his terrible relationship with his father, and the heartwarming story of the mother who stood by him through thick and thin; the day Michael came to the realization he was gay; the amazing behind-the-scenes scandals that led to his TV success; and how he is rebuilding his life once more to put himself back on the path to TV superstardom.Catherine Fuller, MA PGCertEd, is a lead staff developer within the National Probation Service for England and Wales and provides international learning and development consultancy and training.
