Michael Barrymore could get £2.5m in damages from Essex Police
The star is suing the police after being arrested and questioned over the discovery of a body in his swimming pool in 2001

By Joe Tidy, Sky News Reporter, at the High Court

Comedian and TV presenter Michael Barrymore could receive £2.5m in damages if his fight against Essex Police is successful.

If his court battle fails, he is likely to receive just £1.

Barrymore, 64, has taken legal action after he was arrested and questioned in connection with the discovery of the body of a butcher in a swimming pool at his home.

Stuart Lubbock, 31, of Harlow, Essex, was found dead after a party at the Strike It Lucky star's house in nearby Roydon in March 2001.

Barrymore was arrested and held for questioning six years later, but never charged.

Lawyers representing Mr Barrymore and Essex Police appeared on Wednesday at a preliminary High Court hearing in London.

They were successful in their bid to secure a trial to conclude whether or not the police had reasonable grounds for arrest and imprisonment.

The five-day trial will be held in spring 2017.

Essex Police has accepted liability, but the force argues that a procedural error means the star should only receive "nominal damages", described in court as potentially as low as "one pound".

Speaking in court, Master Eastman said: "The claimant is, or was, a well-known entertainer and earning substantial sums of money.

"The special damages claim is said to run to £2.5m for lost future earnings."

Mr Barrymore is said to have suffered "devastating" damage to his reputation and possible future career in television.

Wonder how he feels about people who have written rather nasty books about him? Pcorneater

Bennett must be glad that he does not exactly have a "pot to piss in". Pcorneater

Oh dear, has Bennett not heard the old saying about bewaring of Greeks bearing gifts? What a shame, never mind. Pcorneater

Hilarious cross-internet slanging match in progress, and Bennett appears to have been busy with his knitting needles yet again. rofl

Daft as a rabid fox, if you ask me.

But no one pays any attention anymore.

Of course it does. As always, he only damages himself.

That is the best work he has ever done then. rofl

How utterly pathetic. A nasty, ugly little man making it his life's work to attack people who are in distress, for his own self aggrandisement.

His own God could well call him to account one fine day.

At least knitting socks and fighting with rival sites keeps him harmlessly occupied. Pcorneater
