One is aged 37 and from the North East of England, one is 32 years old from the Midlands and one is aged 55 and was arrested in London.

All were arrested on suspicion of murder and serious sexual assault of Stuart Lubbock.

Mr Lubbock, 31, was found in a swimming pool at the house in Roydon, near Harlow, in March 2001.

They are being taken to an unnamed police station in Essex for questioning.

The family of Stuart Lubbock have been informed but have refused to comment.

Barrymore's PA, Michael Browne, said today: 'He hasn't been arrested to my knowledge. What for? I only saw him yesterday.'

"one is aged 55 and was arrested in London. "

From the Barrymore site: On the 4th May 1952 Michael Ciaran Parker arrived.

I will let others do the maths.

They must have some new evidence or something? News just confirmed it is him who has been arrested.

Barrymore Arrested Over Pool Murder
Updated: 13:21, Thursday June 14, 2007

Michael Barrymore and two other men have been arrested by police investigating the murder of a party-goer.

Stuart Lubbock was found dead in the game show host's swimming pool home near Harlow, Essex, in March 2001.

It is the second time Barrymore has been arrested in connection with the case.

Three months after Mr Lubbock's death, the entertainer was arrested on drugs offences and subsequently cautioned.

Essex police said the three suspects - aged 32, 37 and 55 - had been arrested on suspicion of murder and sexual assault.

Sources said the other two men seized are Justin Merritt and Jonathan Kenny.

Mr Lubbock, a butcher, died after after going to a late night party with Mr Barrymore and some friends.

Post-mortem tests showed he had suffered severe internal injuries, which suggested sexual assault.

Alcohol, ecstasy and cocaine were found in his bloodstream.

A lengthy investigation was carried out by police but no one was charged with any offence and a coroner recorded an open verdict following an inquest.

In December 2006, police began a new inquiry into Mr Lubbock's death.

In January, a police watchdog announced an investigation into detectives' handling of the original inquiry but that has been put on hold following the arrests.

The case has continued to haunt Barrymore, who recently returned to the UK after moving to New Zealand in 2003.

His former agent, Karen Kage, said: "He left a month ago to come back to England. He wanted to go back home."

It has been reported he had split with his long-term boyfriend and is mixing in London showbusiness circles again.

It will be very interesting to see what the new evidence is. After such a long time it would need to be pretty good. Even the Lubbocks seemed genuinely surprised that Barrymore is one of those arrested.

Its all very fishy IMO. They must have some pretty compelling evidence this time.

Ick,freaky **** right there
