Michael Barrymore looked in good spirits as she enjoyed an outing with a mystery male companion ahead of her impending move to Spain.
The 72-year-old artist was out shopping in London on Thursday and was dressed casually in a blue T-shirt and khaki pants.
Next to her was a male companion, who was seen carrying a bag of groceries and vaping.
Barrymore recently revealed that he will move to Barcelona, Spain ‘change your life for the better’ in a Tik Tok video.
The TV personality said she is already on the hunt for her “dream villa” in the idyllic villages.
Michael Barrymore looked in good spirits as she enjoyed an outing with a mystery male companion ahead of her impending move to Spain.

Barrymore was once one of the UK’s biggest stars but her decades-long career ended after the death of Stuart Lubbock in 2001 following a party at his Essex home.
He captioned his post: ‘Never be afraid to change your life for the better. #michaelbarrymore #movingabroad’.
Explaining why he has decided to jump ship, Michael said: ‘Hey guys, yes I am moving to Barcelona. I am 72 now and I realise that quality of life is more important to me than anything else so I am moving to Spain.
‘I love the place. It’s not the Spain I grew up in, there are all the resorts we all know, it’s mainland Spain, it’s amazing.
‘The culture and the people there, the art and everything else. I started looking for houses in Girona and the Catalonia area in March.
‘I’ve already flown out a couple of times to look at places and see what I like. Once I decide which villa I like, I’ll probably go to Lloret de Mar. Of course, I’ll take Dave with me and, of course, I’ll take you with me.
So don’t worry, I’m going to vlog everything and you’ll be with me throughout this whole story.
“Until I find my dream villa, I’m going to research everything I can about it, download Duolingo, learn the language. I can’t wait.”
Next to Barrymore was a male companion, who was seen carrying a shopping bag and vaping on the way out.
The duo looked in good spirits as they strolled through the bustling streets of London.
Barrymore was certainly making the most of her time in the capital ahead of her impending move abroad.

This comes more than 20 years after a young man was found dead in his swimming pool following a house party and Michael virtually disappeared from public life.
The television presenter lost his job at ITV shortly afterwards in 2003 and was rarely seen again until he appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in January 2006, managing to finish in second place.
A series of attempts to revive his career followed, but were often overshadowed by the ongoing investigation into the death of Stuart Lubbock.
Between that year and 2019, Barrymore and others were arrested and questioned on multiple occasions, but no charges were ever brought and the star eventually sued Essex Police for wrongful arrest, although she withdrew her £2.4m compensation claim after a court ruled she was owed “nominal” damages.
But the TV personality has taken her career back into her own hands by building a loyal fan base on the social media app TikTok.
Barrymore posts several videos a day and has amassed 3 million followers, many of whom leave her messages of love and support.
He is no stranger to the stage, having performed sell-out shows before his career collapsed in 2001 when Lubbock, 31, was found dead in the swimming pool of his Essex mansion after the star hosted a late-night party.
He has always denied any knowledge of what happened.
