Derek Acorah to conduct Michael Jackson Séance for Sky
Yes indeedy. You heard it here first. Unless you read Broadcast.
Can you honestly imagine anything – anything – more anus-invertingly unpalatable than this? I hate myself for drawing attention to it.
“The shows were ordered by Sky 1 HD commissioning editor Clare Hollywood, who will also executive produce. Steve Regan and Melanie Leach exec produce for Twofour.”
And we salute them for it.
So proud to be in telly.

Every day, *every day*, we get one step closer to that reality TV show they have in The Running Man called “Climbing For Dollars” whose format is this;
There is money at the top of a rope.
The rope is slippy.
There is a pack of savage dogs waiting to maul you to death when you fall from the rope.
God help us all.
Jees thats just’s just made me feel a bit sick. Can’t anyone just leave the poor guy alone! I actually can’t watch any of Acorah’s stuff because he’s so obviously making stuff up and hoping he gets it right.. I feel sorry for the people who are taken in by his act.
I think I’ll pass on watching this one..
Rach xxx
Ok… So many jokes can be made about this…
“Referring to the rumours of a secret lovechild, The Kid Is Not My Son.”
I might watch it, just for the entertainment of it, to see what he comes up with…
😉
Hmmmm…
Now a channelled moonwalk would be worth tuning in for! How silly! I agree with Louisa – publicity stunt. But then if it generates enough publicity it’ll prob be aired anyway.
Haha Mell! My personal favourite was Colin Fry:
“I’m getting a feeling around the number six…either this person is, or has been, six”
Yeah, kinda weird timing since Derek has a new show right about now…
I cannot believe that humanity has stooped this low! What’s next, Elvis and JFK?!!!
He was fired from Most Haunted due to being a fraud and being fed information before the show was recorded! And how come it doesn’t matter whether it is a man or a woman, English, French, etc, that contacts him, they always have a Scouse accent?!
My fave quote – Mary loves dick!!!
I so hope this is not true…what a wanker 😡
I won’t say more to give you the satisfaction…just hmmm
This is worse than when they paid that pig-wanking woman for shagging David Beckham then blabbing about it. Crap like this is why great shows like “Britain’s Drunkest Slags” got cancelled!!
Im reading this story now, and Im filled with absolute disgust and horror. However (and this is what makes it even more horrifying for me,) if I’d been presented with this story just over a year ago, I probably would have said it was a great idea! (And it makes me gag to admit that, so be kind!) You’d think someone like Derek Acorah would instantly be recognised as a fraud by everyone; but when you have such faith in something like spiritualism, its blinding. You’re convinced that no one would ever do something so awful as lie to a group of grieving people about contacting their loved ones. Then of course, I got my wake up call (I think you can guess who I have to thank for that 😉 ) and thoroughly kicked myself. People who believe in mediums aren’t stupid; they just don’t know any better.
This is the scouse to expose!… Remember the most haunted episode?… “I’m getting something through ivvy, Fanny loves Dick, Fanny Loves Dick, FANNY LOVES DICK”… Timeless comedy from the fraud that is Acorah 🙂
Its entirely just to make money, make everyone start to talk about it again, and so they want to buy one of the hundreds of cruddy books about him.
Anyway, definately will not be watching that, thanks for the heads up and warning us not to flick to Sky 1 HD in the near future.
This is just disgusting. Honestly, it’s bad enough there are plenty of frauds scalping happy go lucky people and trampling all over their memories.
He’s not even a *good* cold reader!
It’s a total travesty that he still has “believers” and “followers”, everyone on the production crew knew he was a fraud from the beginning. He’s up there with Uri “bend my fingers” Geller. Poor taste indeed.
Don’t worry Derren, your works on proving these people as shams has not gone unnoticed. Looking forward to “The Science of Scams”.
“Michael… Michael is that you…oh wait Annie… where’s Michael?….oh right….so Annie are you okay? are you okay? are you okay Annie?”
Cheap pot shots 🙂
Dear Darren i cant believe the kind of human been has thought this one up!! Make me sick .
just…..just…………………………..oh…………….my…………………..god!
Can’t believe this is for real!
My mate and I went to one of his shows to have a titter at the annoying little fraud and his invisible friend. Having been a bit of a fan of Most Haunted up to that point (“Mary loves Dick! Mary loves Dick!”) we started off in fits of laughter at his attempts to find someone to claim the ghost of an alsatian that had wandered on to the stage…
But in the second part of the show, “Derek’s question time” we really got to see how mean he was to the people desperately trying to contact those they’d recently lost.
*Shudder*
Why do I think the woman on the right has a handbag that resembles a rabbit 🙁
I have rabbits on the brain 🙁
Acorah, same as the rest, is a charlatan. He’s not even a good one.
Still, it might be funny watching him pull faces and shout “Jamon”, maybe even attempt a moonwalk.
I have no doubt ‘Michael’ will come through with a scouse accent as they all seem to do when Acora is involved, I would rather believe Jennifer L-H in Ghost Whisperer above anything Most Haunted has thrown out at me.
I read about this on my Sky homepage and couldent believe my eyes! Never have I heard of somthing sooo disgusting in my life.
Oh no… if this is true it will be so scary, I don’t want to see Derek Acorah ‘possessed’ by the spirit of Michael Jackson…. that’s two lots of frightening I can’t handle… Derek Acorah groping himself…. I…I…I
…. D:
Im sorry but I feel sorry for Sky she lost her dad but still HE IS DEAD!
Of course, we all know for sure that this is completely sincere and not degrading to fans in the slightest.
Seriously though, I’m no Michael Jackson fan but come on! This will not be thrilling in the slighest. Nope, not a Thriller at all. No Thrills here.
Considering everyone in the world knows that everything Acorah done whilst on his previous series was fake, how can they seriously be considering him for this?! Everyone considers the man to be a fake – whether he is, or not!
ffs! Nxt thing will be Yvonne fielding doing a seance for stephen gately.
Of course, we all know for sure that this is completely sincere and not degrading to fans in the slightest.

Surely this is some kind of hoax? Not even Sky could possily stoop this low?
Appalling
(Scouse accent) “Michael loves dick”- anyone?
jeeze….i expect Derek will be posessed at some point…funny how whenever he is posessed, no matter what era the person is from, or indeed what area, they always come through sounding Liverpudlian….spooky!
this takes the piss!, what is the world coming to when this shit can make it on the telly?. more fool the people who watch it…..
so what… like a thing where MJ’s spirit is communicated? Disrespectful, however, incredible if it works. And it would put a lot of rumours and ‘who did what’ at rest. Hmm…
lol, Obviously hes going to make contact otherwise it wouldnt be a very good show would it.(if it takes place)
He could make up anything he likes to say. Religin hock-thooo (spits), pisses me off. id love to be on tv with a medium under cover, agree with them, then tell them i was lying to show them up.
Get the amazing James Randi on Derek Acorah`s case after its been done lol
Hmmmmmm finding that hard to take in!!
OMFG I sincerely hope I’m out of the country when this is on the telly, I fear I may be strangely tempted into watchin the pile of poo if I’m in the UK
This is so wrong on so many accounts. It’s an insult to Michael Jackson’s family. Let the guy rest in peace FFS. Secondly not only are they having a seance for MJ but to have such an awful amateur like Acorah leading the seance adds insult to injury. Speaking to the dead is such bullshit and yet again it’s pushed and promoted through tasteless vehicles like this one. When is the world going to heave it’s superstitious ass into the 21st century. All said, how many of us will watch this?? I dread to think.
WTF!?
Oh my God. Oh. My. God.

Derren you have to stop this somehow please I beg you I shall give you £1,000 please please please I know that’s prob like a penny to you but please please I’ll give it to you anyway PLEASE STOP THIS :'(
aw my god!!, ive just looked up who Derek Acorah is… hahaha
I was just laughing at the point of a seance, but him doing it?!
the stupidity is so agrovating itself. lol
This is totally disrespectful and stupid.
Poor Michael only died this summer and its cruel on his family and everyone else who loves him.
Show some darn respect derrek!
Its all FAkE anyways
so whats th point!
GrRRR im angry now!
Mr Acorah is one of the least convincing psychics ever to strut around in faux-crocodile skin boots! The most endearing thing about him is the hilarious spectacle he makes of himself when he ‘channels’ some long dead entity who’s only probable reaction to his presence would be to slowly start rotating in their long forgotten grave.
Watch Yvette Fielding trying not to corpse in this clip. lol

I’m sure Mary does, but don’t shout it to the world!

/Sigh
It just goes to show what kind of culture we’re turning into, when people will happily sit and watch the crap that drivels out of Derek Acorah’s mouth. This will be TV at a new low 🙁
SKY – For those times when Chanel Five is too high brow.
Derren
You make me laugh.
Your eloquence is astounding.
On a seperate yet related note, I have just spent the afternoon watching one of your mind trick shows bit of a treat really especially after a cumbersome morning…
Reema x
Maybe C4 could ask you to do a programme to reveal the secret of how Acorah can look people in the eye and tell them he’s an honest man? It would be the greatest feat ever shown on television.
Well all I can say is that my daughter says there is a sign outside our church that says :
“Save AssHoles ”
And I sit here and think Derren is so right – Who would want a collection of Derek Acorah’s ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Should be fun for a laugh…
Considering I don’t believe MJ is actually dead.
Ha! Just finished reading Tricks Of The Mind and the part where you met old Derek!
Bet you wish you had given him a slap now!
Didnt think it would take long for something like this to happen…….what a joke!
What a load of wank. I’d like to read Acorah his future. The buffoon. Actually, I take it back, a wank at least serves a purpose. Acorah, blah, bloody air stealer.
Si
I think Michael is best left uncontacted. But it may be rather comical if Derek was to be ‘possessed’ by him 🙂
