Michael Barrymore still feels 'raw anger' that people refuse to accept he is an innocent man.
The presenter, 67, is set to appear on Piers Morgan's Life Stories after a five-year hiatus from the public eye.
Barrymore will open up about the highs and lows of his career and the arrest that nearly ruined him.
