Just read on Digital Spy that Michael Barrymores ex wife Cheryl,has died of lung cancer just 6 weeks after being diagnosed at 56.....Makes Pinks fund even more worthwhile when you read things like this...

Thats sad, she had such a lot of worry with Michael. I wonder if she smoked as well..As a funeral arranger I find 75% of people die from smoke related diseases

I think many would have smoked if they were married to Michael Barrymore. At least she is free from the memory of that man. 56 is no age to die, but then cancer is no respecter of age. Ros

Very Sad, such a young age! apparently she wanted it all kept quiet....and didnt want Michael to know, at all........ she appears to be the reason why his career went pearshaped......she wasnt there to pull the right strings. what a gutsy lady, she refused treatment...... Bob

Within 6 weeks? How terrifying, makes you realise how vunerable we all are. She had a bad last few years too. Poor woman. Deanna

Makes me think more seriously about being determined in what I am doing now... being an ex-smoker. My thoughts and prayers are for those she has left behind. Anne .

Well if she helps one of you to stop smoking for good, what a legacy to leave.

Not that it changes anything, but they said she died of breast cancer on Radio 5 this evening.

Cancer as Roz says has no respect for anybody regardless of their age be it a young child or an older person. As for Michael himself he is now on stage in NZ playing the male lead in 'Chicago'. John
