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.

Wondering if he will get possessed, i would personally love to see him doing the moonwalk haha

So unbelievable and disgusting!
Don’t beat yourself up for posting it Derren.
Whoever thought this was good idea of making a mockery out of someone’s suffering and the pain and loss – well they themselves are truly sick.
This makes me feel uncomfortable and sick too.
Take care Derren. XXXXXXXXXX
I am positive that you could do a far better job than old ‘Mr Fake Tan’ man Derek.
Probably a good idea for a new show?
And this will be on for 2 shows as well! 🙂
@Chelsea – I was trying to think up how to do a MJ impression in words but couldn’t think of the right ones to describe him! Loved yours!! 😀
But how many of us are STILL going to tune to this out of morbid curiosity??? 👿

I read this earlier and couldn’t believe it. I work in tele too and this will indeed be shameful tele-trash – but sadly will get very good ratings (which are increasingly the be all and end all).
And sorry to dash the hopes of all those posters predicting it is some sort of publicity stunt – it is in Broadcast, the industry magazine, with named execs – it will happen.
I cant ACTUALLY believe this is happening. Derek will never live this down
Saw him in his local tesco recently, I had wonderd why he was moonwalking on the conveyor belt.
Great, more TV for morons, just what we need.
What a waste of money and time! How is that fraud still working in TV?? I’d pay NOT to see that
it gets worse lol
Oh. My. God.
Although, will more than likely watch it, if for no other reason than to see Derek get *possessed* by the spirit of Michael Jackson. Should make for interesting viewing, for sure. Derek Acorah moonwalking, LMAO. Wonder if a sparkly white glove will mysteriously manifest itself during said seance…
Should have got Derren to do it instead! LOLOLOL
in the words of the great stephen fry this is arse gravy
“anus-invertingly unpalatable”…
derren, you certainly have a way with words…but also a very very strange mind :p
can’t believe that’s happening :p IT’S A LIE 😀 😀 …recently watched the messiah so im well informed haha
much love xx
I think that michal jackson will sing all of his song and then he will moonwark down from heaven and then he will release a new albiums of songs even better than thriller or bad and then he will zoom back in to heaven but also i dont not believe that michle jaclson is dead anyway he is on an island with elvis presley, marylin monroe and madonna. also i fink that derren brown is a magaician and i saw his on th etelly and i thought to myself BLIMEY hes not good i can do all his trick anyways and then i had my tea it was drumsticks
Surely he can’t compete with Ike Broflovski????
that is the most excruciatingly ridiculous thing i have ever heard. It is wrong on so many levels!!!
Ratings is what the business executives think about……that’s just the name of the game. The people have the power to switch on or turn off. I think curiosity will lead most to turn on.
It could actually be a very funny scenario. (I have a very strange sense of humour.)
But i dont understand! why would people believe in that when you have proof that its all a trick??????? I am a psychology student. and practically everyone in my class believe in that. and there is no way to even make them question it!! they have such a strong faith on the matter!! of course society and religion has a big part to play in that…….but it still annoys me like hell that they wont even consider anything else!! just blindly follow! makes me sick! and even if some do question, its in the other bloody direction!! and yeah, thats psychology students in a university im talking about!!
ANUS-INVERTINGLY UNPALATABLE? im laughing my ass off!! ur sooooooo funny!!! i love ur humour!
having worked with both you and acorah as a theatre technician i know which one of you is permanantly anus invertingly unpalatable and its not you 🙂 couldnt of put it better myself. we genuinly had a medium at our theatre whos show had to be cancelled due to unforseen circumstances, i never laughed so much but management wouldnt let me put that on the posters.
this is just a rumour but ive heard micheal asks everyone to buy his new single
i’m getting a word…. does it begin with s…..sounds like shh….. shamon!… does that mean anything?
As I said on facebook: I can imagine him “Channeling” Leigh Francis’ Michael Jackson!
Surely channel 4 can commision you to do a show at the same time about cold reading and frauds, and see how many people turn over in the first 5 minutes.
Please =D
Oh dear oh dear oh dear.
When is it on?????
When Derek gets stuck, he tends to start “trance-attacking” people – but there’s no way he’ll be logically able to do this while channeling (a pacifist like) MJ ?
What a dillema ! ….he might have to start earning his money with this one !
I will be bitterly disppointed if this seance does not include some lavish musical number.
I may watch this simply because it will be disgusting cringey, and I have a morbid curiosity and would love to see how much of a tit he makes himself out to be. 😀 And I’ll be using the phrase “anus-invertingly unpalatable” as often as I can! x
I’m from the same area as Derek acorah, but i think he is a lying PRICK! excuse the language, it was said in the paper a couple of years ago. i bet Derek will start by saying ” Sam tells me there’s a Michael Jackson with us does that mean anything to anyone, if so give me £1000 and I’ll tell you more”. then he’ll act like he is possessed. then he will finish with a moon walk. Michael was a great man, Derek should be ashamed of himself. FUCKING FRAUD!!!
the best. ever. how can you not trust a man who has an ethiopian spirit guide called sam? ax
these people are sick in the head full stop
Dear oh dear……talk about “jumping on the bandwagon” really quickly…..I suppose he thinks that he has to earn a living ……..
STUPID BASTARD!!! I LOATHE Acorah with a passion and this just reaffirms why! Can DA sink any lower?? I like MJ and this will make despicable TV. Only good thing about it is that Derek will UNDOUBTEDLY be possessed by Michael Jackson himself – wont that be worth watching! DA gives mediums a bad name.
BTW, Mark, a medium is slightly different to a psychic but Acorah is neither IMO.
Oh my days. Derek Acorah being ‘possessed’ by MJ (‘eeeh-heeee!) is going to be the Unintentionally Hilarious TV Spectacle Of The Year. Damn, I wish I had a TV.
I won’t be watching… I’m not a fan of Derek Achora… nor never have been… to the point where, if I was around when he was on fire, I’d get the toasting fork and marshmallows out.
Such bad taste… Anus-Invertingly Unpalatable Indeedy!
Personally can’t wait to see faker Acorah fall flat on his ar%se with this one. Completely ridiculous car crash television. I have no experience within the mad world of TV but as a watcher of it I find the whole idea of this kind of tv “event” bewildering and disturbing.
This is just so damn wrong, a massive fraudster such as Mr Acorah making money out of a dead popstar?!
What is wrong with the world!
Sky will never be able to get in contact with Jackson.
He’s already signed an exclusive deal with Heaven to be the warm-up act for Jesus’ big comeback tour.
Knob!
I have no words. Its just……ugh!
I used to watch shows like Most Haunted, used to buy into all the ghost stuff…
I want to thank Derren Brown for opening my eyes. Even since I saw the table levitate all by itself knowing it was merely a trick. Its amazing the lengths people will go to to fool the scared, the grieving and the plain curious.
AND as a huge Michael Jackson fan this news makes me sick for so many other reasons. Makes me mad, makes my heart bleed. Even in death people just can’t seem to leave him alone.
And people wonder why I’m misanthropic.
Personally I can’t wait…
Does that make me a bad person?
I’ll be interested to see if MJ has a camp northern accent like every other ‘spirit’ Acorah ‘channels’.
thats is sick, what a way to cash in on someone’s death, i suppose he did not care to think about his children or family, he is a joke and a fake. very annoyed at this news!!!!!!
Lizzie: “I think Michael is best left uncontacted. But it may be rather comical if Derek was to be ‘possessed’ by him.”
I can imagine it now, he’d be jumping around like Leigh Francis on bo selecta!
This is a horrible cash in on a dead celebrity I have ever seen. So completely unnecessary and fake. Unless he also contacts Jade goody, then all is forgiven.
This sounds awful!! How arrogant do you have to be to assume that if there is an afterlife – he wants to talk to you – Derek Acorah!!! It is with great sadness that I admit I will watch this – It’s got to be good for a laugh – to watch him try and attempt MJ’s voice – so far he only seems to be able to speak to people ‘on the other side’ with really low gruff voices.
Outrageous that this charlatan can get away with this. This parasite that feeds on the despair and tragedy of peoples grief, boycott the wanker. Sad thing is people will watch this even though its shyte
oh dear here’s where derek accora will start moon walking accross the stange because he’s been ‘posessed’ by michael jackson. This is truely and insult to the king of pop.
Sky is becoming the new ITV.
I’m glad I cancelled my subscription, as I don’t want to be held responsible for funding this low-brow, Heat magazine induced, drooling moron attracting tripe.
And Derek Acorah… as bad as Mystic Meg, and single-handedly responsible for the hole in the ozone layer thanks to the travesty of a barnet he calls “hair”.
End rant. 🙂
Derek just cracks me up because he’s so shit! He can’t even fake being a medium properly.
I really don’t think this show should be made (if it isn’t a publicity stunt) because it is very disrespectful to the Jackson family and all his fans. Fans get emotionally attached to celebrities and it’s not fair if they’re grieving a little too.
I love Most Haunted. I used to love it because I was a believer in ghosts but now I love it for the psychology and all the natural explanations for ‘paranormal’ activity in the show (also the teeny tiny crush on parapsychologist ciaran o’keefe lol).
I just hope that this turns out to be a publicity stunt.
Why is Derek Acorah so.. wrong? I’ve always thought he’s a bit of a salesman.
Isn’t this the same Derek Acorah who was fired from Most Haunted for being a fraud???
He’s no more psychic than i am. As for doing a Michael Jackson seance,, I’m thinking ratings for the fraud must be low. RIP Michael…… PISS off Acorah!!!!!!
