The former TV presenter has been receiving standing ovations for his latest work
Michael Barrymore has already launched his comeback into the world of showbiz. The fallen TV presenter, 71, has been making appearances on stage - receiving standing ovations along the way - for weeks now.
Speaking in a new interview, Michael credits getting sober and recovering from an alcohol addiction with helping him pursue his career passions, the Mirror reports. Discussing his new career venture with the Daily Star, Michael says "Despite all the sh**ty bits that have happened in my life, I still have never lost the desire and passion for what I do" - adding how he has discovered he is "a good director".
"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," he continues when speaking with the Daily Star.
In a clip shared to Michael's TikTok page, the former Strike It Lucky host can be heard telling a clapping crowd in a West End theatre: "I've never been so busy. I've never been so happy. I want to thank all the people on TikTok - whether you're on there or not - because over the last two years... it was time I claimed my life back. I'm happy, I'm sober and well... I don't know what to say.
