Summary
*It's been 25 Years since Stuart Lubbock was found raped and murdered in the swimming pool of TV presenter Michael Barrymore - this series, has been re-recorded and includes additional reporting from the first series released in 2022*.
Imagine going to a nightclub, meeting a national celebrity and being invited back to their house for a party... cool right?
Well... not if that party would mean the end of your life.
This is a tragic true story, that has many twists and turns and feels like the script of a Hollywood Blockbuster, but it's real life.
In the first episode, we tell the story of the last 12 hours of Stuart Lubbock's life and what happened that night, at the home of one of the UK's biggest television stars, Michael Barrymore.
If you have any information on this case please contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
