Barrymore could find himself in deep water after this Court of Appeal ruling. No doubt he’ll be away to drown his sorrows now.

“Entertainer Michael Barrymore will receive only nominal damages from Essex Police after an unlawful arrest which he claimed had "destroyed his career".
The comedian and TV presenter had hoped for a payout of more than £2.4m from the force in relation to his 2007 wrongful arrest on suspicion of the rape and murder of Stuart Lubbock.
Essex Police challenged the amount it owed him and has won its appeal.
This Court of Appeal ruling overturns the 2017 High Court ruling”
