Biography

Comedian and television host born in London, 1952, under the name Michael Keiran Parker.

His mother was a song and dance entertainer, and his father left home when Barrymore was nine. After numerous children's shows and the BBC quiz Get Set Go, his time came when he presented the madcap quiz Strike it Lucky which slowly evolved from a quiz into a showcase for his repartee with the general public.

He was married to his manager, Cheryl, for 21 years. In 1995, the tabloid newspapers forced him to 'come out'.

In 1997, he appeared in the film Spiceworld, as Mr Step, and took on a comedy drama role in the ITV series Bob Martin (co-written with Bob Mills).
