Given some of the really appalling people out there on the medium circuit he seemed pretty likable. I saw a bit of a show once where he spoke to peoples pets. A woman brought a cat on and when she put it down it immediately ran to him and hid down the side of his leg. I was quite struck by that.I met a couple of people who knew Mr Acorah well before his tv stardom, and both said he was a genuinely nice chap, who did have psychic abilities. They both said that his tv persona did not reflect his real personality or his real abilities. Whatever you may have thought of him, he was probably no less genuine than all the "reality" "stars" that have ever been on the tellybox. I enjoyed his performances when he first started appearing, whether faked or not. It was the antics of the other members of the casts of these shows which stopped me watching latterly. RIP Derek- you went well before your time.
What do you call a fat psychic?
A four-chin teller!
If that was real, I'd want one.less we forgit

He was the subject of my podcast a few weeks ago. I hope I didn’t push him over the edge!

My own fake medium identity is Eric Atora because he's a great big dumpling.

I recall news of her sending a message very shortly after she died. Can't remember who received it, or even what it said, but it was reported SOMEWHERE...

The famous medium Doris Stokes makes a comeback from beyond the grave.

A bit taken aback by how cold and dismissive Yvette's minimalist "tribute" to him was:

Yeah, no effort was made by her (at all) to make it sound nicer.A bit taken aback by how cold and dismissive Yvette's minimalist "tribute" to him was:
