Stephen Fry has revealed about taking cocaine at Buckingham Palace, the House of Lords, BBC Television Centre and several London clubs, during his 15-year-addiction to the Class A drug, in his new autobiography.

The 57-year-old comedian wrote in 'More Fool Me' that he wants to apologize unreservedly to the owners, managers or representatives of the noble and ignoble premises and to the hundreds or private homes, offices, car dashboards, tables, mantelpieces and available polished surfaces that could so easily have been added to this "list of shame," the Mirror reported.

The 'QI' star added that this is the time for the authorities, who may wish to have him struck off, banned, black balled or in any other way punished for past crimes, to reach for the phone, the police or the club secretary.

Fry, who has earlier spoken publicly about suffering from bipolar disorder, continued that he wasted "tens if not hundreds of thousands of pounds" and "many" time on sniffing, snorting and tooting cocaine simply because he "liked it.
