Michael Barrymore’s big move to Spain has come to an abrupt end, with the former TV star abandoning his plans to start a new life near Barcelona. Just weeks after setting off for a fresh start, he admitted feeling overwhelmed by homesickness and made the decision to return to Britain.
The 72-year-old, who has reinvented himself as a TikTok personality, left London in November with his beloved Whippet, Lara, hoping to find a permanent home in the Spanish sunshine. He rented a small flat in El Papiol, a town about 30 minutes from Barcelona, and was actively house-hunting. But despite telling his 3.5 million TikTok followers that he was close to moving into a “house with a garden” for Lara to enjoy, things quickly unraveled, reported the Mirror.
