Michael Barrymore has recently relocated to a coastal area and is getting comfortable in his new residence. The former television personality received the keys to his new property in Devon over the weekend and had typical concerns about his new neighbors and lifestyle.
Despite his initial apprehensions, the 74-year-old was deeply moved by the warm reception from the community. He has been documenting his relocation journey on TikTok, showcasing his explorations of the area and interactions with locals.
Barrymore has been exploring the local beaches, visiting Cranch’s Sweet Shop in Salcombe, and checking out various nearby garden centers. In a recent update, he shared with his followers that he’s been adjusting to his new home and managing the stress by focusing on one task a day.
Currently sleeping on a mattress directly on the floor until his bed arrives in June, Barrymore revealed his plans for a custom-made pink bed to match his sofa. His bedroom is minimally furnished with bedside tables, a lamp, and essentials like his phone charger. Furniture for the kitchen is expected to arrive next week from Scandinavia.
The former game show host was touched by a group of schoolboys who gathered outside his home to welcome him to the neighborhood. He expressed gratitude for the warm reception and the kindness of the local children.
Barrymore recently participated in a community theatre group at a local school after being invited by the members. He shared his experience, mentioning his willingness to engage with the community and offer advice during the session.
Following a career setback related to a tragic incident at his previous property, Barrymore has made a successful comeback on social media, particularly on TikTok, where he has amassed over 4.3 million followers. Fans have praised his involvement in community activities and his friendly demeanor, highlighting his positive impact since moving to the area.
