Michael Barrymore has failed to live up to the title of his former hit TV show, ‘Strike It Lucky’ in a new online version of the game.

The 68 year-old hosted the popular game show for 13 years between 1986 and 1999 and recently brought a remote version of it back for his Instagram followers.

But according to The Sun, the number of people tuning in to his ‘show’ has been as low as 152.

This came just days after he had promoted his new version on ITV daytime show This Morning with Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby.

In its heyday, Strike It Lucky was the fifth most-watched show on UK television.

Barrymore was a major TV figure with top shows including My Kind Of People, Kids Do The Funniest Things and his eponymous long-running entertainment series Barrymore.

But his career then struggled after 31-year-old Stuart ­Lubbock was found dead in the comedian's swimming pool at a party in 2001.

Since then he has appeared on - and was runner-up in - Celebrity Big Brother, featured on Piers Morgan’s Life Stories last year and was due to take part in this year’s Dancing on Ice.

However, he suffered a wrist injury while rehearsing for the opening week of the show and was subsequently replaced by Blue Peter’s Radzi Chinyanganya.
