Entertainer Michael Barrymore has admitted he considered ending his life after the death of a man in his swimming pool in 2001.

David Blunkett today reveals the full extent of his emotional turmoil at the time of his resignation as home secretary, admitting that he "cracked" and that "at one point I really did think I was going mad".

… He is now re-entering the political arena with a controversial memoir based on the taped diaries he recorded at the end of each week.

More Blunkett madness:

A fat, bearded chap with a Charles Darwin fixation.
