Michael Barrymore has been caught in possession of cocaine after a car crash in west London.



The Strike It Rich entertainer and another man were arrested after police found the illegal Class A substance inside his Citroen DS3 vehicle.

Scotland Yard say that Barrymore, a self-confessed alcoholic, has also been charged with being drunk and disorderly.

Police have confirmed that the arrest followed an incident that occured in Acton at 4.30am on Tuesday morning.

Officers discovered the scene while on a routine patrol at the junction of The Vale and Dordrecht Road. Sky News understands police were unclear on who had been driving.

Barrymore, 59, has been bailed and will appear at Ealing Magistrates' Court on December 7.

Fears for the star's health materialised following his return to the limelight in Channel 4's Celebrity Coach Trip, where he launched a foul-mouthed attack on a French waiter and suffered injuries after falling off a horse.
