Michael McIntyre has admitted to attacking his noisy neighbors with a hilariously passive-aggressive tactic. The 49-year-old comic, who owns a £10 million home in Hampstead, north of London, discovered that some of his neighbors had been stifling his tranquility by playing loud music.

Michael chose to try a more subdued method of obtaining his peace and quiet rather than confronting them directly. while addressing fans at a Soho Theatre warm-up performance for his upcoming Hello America! The Michael McIntyre’s Big Show star admitted: “I have had a little thing with them [neighbours] already when they played very loud music in the garden and I did not want to complain. Just to f*** them off, I played the same song at a slightly different time. It’s a wise decision.

“This is what British people do,” Michael continued. They will make an effort to avoid confrontation when dealing with s***. The audience laughed out loud at the revelation.

The funnyman, who is best known for The Wheel and Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow, has been busy making preparations for his US tour while also focusing on his weight.

After being told by doctors that his 15st 10lbs frame placed him in the “obese” category, Michael made the revelation that he had started taking the weight-loss drug Mounjaro.

Have you ever noticed how tiny I am, he asked during one of his London shows? I’ve shed some pounds. Don’t applaud it because there has been some slight cheating going on. I was told I weighed 100 kg by the doctor. He described me as “obese.” How unkind. He said, “It’s a medical term.”

The comedian started using Mounjaro, a food suppressant originally developed for people with diabetes, after receiving some encouragement from his wife Kitty.

Tizépatide, a medical term for blood sugar, helps regulate blood sugar levels and promotes fullness. Michael was delighted to report that he had already seen results in three weeks.

According to reports, his desire to slim down was fueled by his habit of consuming the leftovers that his wife and their two sons, Lucas and Oscar, refused to finish.

Michael has made his first effort to lose weight, but this is not his first. He visited the Mayr Clinic in Austria, where he spent about £4,000 per week, where he adhered to a strict detox regimen. The experience, however, wasn’t entirely positive.

We only spent six days there, so I lost a stone. On Jessie Ware’s Table Manners podcast, he recalled how he felt “so emotional, depressed, and confused.” “Paul Tomkinson, his friend,” nearly perished on a hike.

He added that he was frightened to avoid eating apples, saying to The Sun that he had already lost some weight there.

They put little probes on the end of my tongue, told me I shouldn’t eat apples, and they did a week of testing on me. Apples reportedly will cause my brains to become extremely confused and lethargic. Really, that’s the only thing I can take away from it.

In 1963, Prunella and Timothy wed, and they had two sons, Samuel West, an actor and director, and Juliet, their stepdaughter. Although it’s unknown when they first met, it’s believed Prunella first portrayed Kate Starling in the BBC sitcom Marriage Lines.

Instead of a white wedding dress, Prunella chose a tailored coat, black gloves, and black heels for their very modest wedding in 1963 at Chelsea Registry Office. She added a fur hat to complete her look.

Prunella acknowledged her regrets about not getting married in a church on their 40th wedding anniversary. In front of their children, they made the decision to have a second chance and reaffirm their vows in 2003.

Timothy appeared in EastEnders, Coronation Street, Gentleman Jack, and Dad’s Army. When Prunella claimed that her husband and she would soon become “very depressed” they would become.

Their marriage was their greatest success, despite their success in acting. She told The Times, “I think I’m a very lucky lady. I’m married to a very interesting individual, and I have a strong interest in him.

“So that’s not a problem,” I would be a different person if I married someone I didn’t get along with and had an unhappy marriage. Prunella revealed that her short-term memory was fading in January 2013.

A year later her husband confirmed that she was living with Alzheimer’s disease. The couple appeared together in 10 series of Great Canal Journeys for Channel 4 from 2014 until her Alzheimer’s reportedly progressed to the point where they had to stop in 2020.

The Bradford-born icon, however, claimed that their relationship had not changed since receiving the diagnosis, and that Prunella later said, “I have got to know him better and better and better.”

Timothy continued, “I am aware that things will change a little bit, but it has been a long time and we have managed pretty well overall. We never, in my opinion, ever consider, “Oh no.”

The actress continued, “I have been asked to spend the rest of my life with a person I respect very much, with whom I have many disagreements, and with whom I can disagree quite happily.”

Although Prunella frequently didn’t think about her condition, Timothy claimed that the pair “somehow coped” with the news. Timothy revealed his difficulties with communicating with his wife during a chapter of Piers Morgan’s Life Stories.

There isn’t much we can say about a concert, play, or movie because Pru will have a fairly hazy memory, he said. She might have enjoyed her evening and will likely discuss the acting, but she is unable to discuss what the play was saying.

However, the couple resisted giving further details, with him saying, “The sad thing is that you just watch the gradual disappearance of the person you knew, loved, and were very close to.” There is still a lot of her left, but we still enjoy life, and Pru and I can do many things together.

It’s manageable if you live it every day. It’s sad when you start thinking about the past and saying, “Oh, what a shame she can’t do that anymore, she doesn’t appreciate that anymore, and we can’t talk about this anymore.”
