Susan Boyle may have taken the whole world by storm with her Britain’s Got Talent performance but this clip shows that her first TV appearance didn’t go nearly so well.

In 1995 Susan appeared on Michael Barrymore’s ‘My Kind Of People’, but as she sang a track from Jesus Christ Superstar, Barrymore slid across the stage and tried to sneak a peek up her skirt. Thankfully her fiesty side still shone through as she aimed a kick at the comedian’s head, but it didn’t stop Michael from moving in for a snog!

Terry Lubbock, the father of Stuart Lubbock who died at Michael Barrymore’s home in 2001, has blasted Channel 4 bosses for employing comedian Michael Barrymore as a roving reporter for this year’s Celebrity Big Brother.

Terry, 65, has never given up his pursuit of the truth about what happened to his son at Barrymore’s house and is furious that Barrymore is being employed by BB bosses again. So much so that according to the Daily Mail, Terry intends to stage a protest outside the show’s studios.

He told the newspaper, “I will be outside the studios the day it starts – I will not rest until I know what happened to my son and I want Mr Barrymore to tell me all he knows.

“Reporters are people who want information revealed. Now that Mr Barrymore is a reporter maybe he can reveal some information to me.

“I’ll be happy to be interviewed by him any time – and I’ll have some questions for him.”

Here’s an excerpt from the Daily Mail’s report regarding Barrymore’s arrest and subsequent release regarding Stuart’s death.

“A cloud remained over Michael Barrymore last night even after he was told he will not be prosecuted over the death of a party guest at his home.

As Barrymore walked free, detectives revealed that they are convinced that Stuart Lubbock was attacked before he drowned in the entertainer’s swimming pool in March 2001.

The extraordinary public statement by Essex Police came as officers admitted there was insufficient evidence to bring any charges against Barrymore or two other men arrested on suspicion of murder and sexual assault.

Detective Chief Inspector Gareth Wilson said: ‘I want to make it very clear that this is not the end of the investigation.’

He said 31-year-old Mr Lubbock ‘received very serious injuries the night he died’ and evidence suggested they occurred at Barrymore’s mansion in Roydon, in Essex.”

Since that time, Barrymore has appeared on Celebrity Big Brother as a housemate which, at the time, caused controversy with many believing that until the truth regarding Stuart Lubbock’s death was known, Michael should not be on our screens.

But what do you think?

There has not been any conclusive proof that Barrymore was involved in Stuart’s death but rumours have continued to dog the comedian. Some social commentators at the time – and since – have hinted at comparisons between Barrymore’s situation and OJ Simpson infamously being found not guilty for his wife and her lover’s murder, but is that a fair comparison or not?

Terry Lubbock it seems certainly thinks so and he has spent the last 7 years keeping his son’s death a high profile one by often appearing wherever Barrymore does. For instance, in July this year, Terry was outside Barrymore’s Edinburgh Fringe show with a diagram of Stuart’s injuries as noted at his post-mortem.

In the past though, Terry has said that he’s prepared to accept that Barrymore may not have been actively involved on the suspected attack on his son, but he does believe that Michael knows more than he’s saying about Stuart’s death, and it is for this reason that he is enraged that Michael will be on our screens again in the New Year.

I have to say, I just don’t know what to think; I waiver between thinking that at the very least, Barrymore must have been aware of what was going on under his roof during the time Stuart Lubbock sustained the injuries that culminated in his drowning in Barrymore’s pool. On the other hand, it’s not like Michael Barrymore lived in a two-up-two-down; his home was a large property in extensive grounds so it is conceivable that Stuart could have been assaulted by other guests at Michael’s house without his knowledge.

And of course, innocent until proven guilty still applies so one the one hand, why should Barrymore give up his career if he really didn’t have anything to do with – or any knowledge of – Stuart’s death?

Equally, for those who believe he did have some involvement, either directly or indirectly, it’s understandable that they are enraged that Michael is still a high profile TV personality; it must feel like rubbing salt into a very raw wound.

What do you think? Should Michael Barrymore continue his career or should he bow out of public life until the mystery surrounding Stuart’s death is resolved?

Celebrity Big Brother will return with a bang this January by hiring former contestant Michael Barrymore as a roving reporter for a spin off show.

Barrymore will present a slot on Big Brother’s Little Brother, which will be presented by George Lamb on E4.

Comedian Jack Whitehall will present Big Brother’s Big Mouth and on who he would like to see in the house Jack said:

“Kerry Katona would be good. Jeremy Clarkson, I’d like to see him in there. And maybe Gordon Ramsay.”

Michael Barrymore has this week returned to New Zealand after failing to make a comeback on UK TV.

Barrymore took part in last years Celebrity Big Brother shw with the hopes that it would be his first step on the ladder of a UK comeback. He had grand plans for new shows, but none actually materialised.

A showbiz insider said: “After Barrymore came second on Celebrity Big Brother he thought there was a real chance of getting things moving again, but as soon as police announced they were reinvestigating the death he knew he was facing an impossible challenge.

“I’m not surprised he’s gone back to New Zealand – and I wouldn’t be surprised if he never comes to the UK.”

Well Michael Barrymore seems to think so!

Despite his own marriage ending up in tatters, Michael Barrymore has today offered some pearls of wisdom to his fellow Celebrity Big Brother housemates.

“You can get attracted by lucrative offers for your wedding pictures and get married for the wrong reason,� he tells the News of the World. “Two stars in a family doubles your exposure and doubles your problems. I hope they don’t get carried away.�

Talking of doubling your exposure, Michael has just signed a £1 million contract for the writing of his tell all autobiography. Thats right Michael, keep a low profile why don’t you!

Michael Barrymore will make his big TV comeback this week on Channel Four’s show the Friday Night Project. The presenter follows in the footsteps of TV personalities like Lorraine Kelly, Kelly Osbourne and Vinnie Jones who have also presented the show alongside comedians Justin Lee Collins and Alan Carr.

This will be Barrymore’s first TV appearance since leaving the Celebrity Big Brother house, and his first presenting job since he fled to New Zealand.

Terry Lubbock father of Stuart Lubbock who was found dead in Michael Barrymore’s swimming pool will be pressing ahead with legal action against the star despite rumours that the case had been dropped.

Terry met with the Celebrity Big Brother contestant earlier this week and said that he no longer blamed Michael Barrymore for the death of his son. The pair also agreed to work together in getting the case reviewed by the police.

However today Terry confirmed that “I’m still pursuing the case and shall talk with my solicitor about what’s next.

“I was happy meeting Barrymore and feel I have his support to campaign for justice over what happened to my son. He’s promised to help me, so I’ll take him up on that.”

Michael Barrymore has been pipped at the post on his comeback thanks to non-celebrity Chantelle Houghton. Amazing, yet we all saw it coming, didn’t we?

Hard to believe that Chantelle could have been evicted two days after the show started, but was saved by Preston who thought he was the least famous person in the house.

Michael Barrymore Takes 2nd Place

Although he was emotional on leaving the house, Barrymore was much more in control than during his entrance! He denied playing to the cameras – as George suggested, and admitted that his time in the house was great therapy.

I’ve been in therapy eight times, but that was the best therapy I’ve ever had! You should consider charging.

Congratulations to Barrymore for being the celebrity runner-up. I’ll be watching to see what happens next in his career. Hopefully he won’t be releasing a single like most of the others…

Chantelle Takes The Crown

“She walked into the Big Brother house a complete unknown, but she’s coming out the star of the show.” So said Davina as the ecstatic Chantelle bounced down the Big Brother catwalk. Apparently she took 56% of the vote, winning by a complete landslide!!!

There could not have been a better winner for the show. No ego, no agenda and sometimes no clue, Chantelle was just pure fun! I’m sure the situation with Preston isn’t over yet – BB played the clip of Preston saying “If I didn’t have a girlfriend, I’d marry you” a little too much. There may still be a showdown!

Ah well, that’s it for this year. Consider it just a warm-up for Big Brother 7 in the summer!

Well tonight is the final night for Celebrity Big brother.

With 6 contestants left and non-celebrity Chantelle standing as the bookies favourtie to win it should prove an interesting night.

I am hoping against all hopes that Pete Burns is the next housemate to leave and that each and every member of the audience boos him as he does his walk to the studio. I also hope that the police are there to arrest Pete upon his eviction for owning and importing his monkey (formerely thought to be Gorilla) coat. There are many other awful things i wish upon this man but I won’t bore you with them now!

Anyway I’ll be avidly watching the show tonight as I guess will most of you, so join us back here after the show for a bit of discussion and air your views about who left. who won and what you thought of the show!

A group of Labour MPs led by Martin Salter, MP for Reading West are calling for George Galloway to be punished by the Queen as is laid out in an ancient law.

Waveguide states that anyone absenting themselves from Parliament can be “amerced” – arbitrarily punished – under the 1382 Summons to Parliament Act.

The anti-war Respect MP faces that threat if the Queen decided he has not “reasonably and honestly” excused himself.

So that is three of the current housemates that could be facing legal trouble when they leave the house. Pete for his Gorilla coat, Michael for the pool incident and now George for playing truant from parliament.

I wonder what criminal charges will face Maggot when he emerges….perhaps he could be charged with causing extreme boredom to the general public, or Chantelle could be charged for being much too blonde!
