Barrymore fined €910 over cocaine found at accident

ENTERTAINER Michael Barrymore was found with cocaine in his pocket after launching a foul-mouthed tirade at police, a court has heard.

The TV star, once one of Britain’s highest-paid entertainers, was arrested in the early hours last month after officers spotted a Citroen DS3 that had been damaged in an accident and found him at the scene.

Appearing in the dock, the 59-year-old admitted possessing the drug and was fined a total of £780 (€910) at Ealing Magistrates’ Court in west London.
