Acorah rules out 'Most Haunted' return

Derek Acorah has ruled out returning to paranormal documentary series Most Haunted, describing it as "weak in content".

The celebrity medium, who worked on the first six series of the Living show, said that he was unhappy with criticism he had received from members of the programme's team.

Acorah, 60, last appeared on Most Haunted in 2005, but there had been rumours online that he may return to the format.

"I'm never going back to Most Haunted," he told the Real Radio North East Breakfast Show. "I'm doing other things now and I'm going forward in a different way.

"I wouldn't go back on it because there were certain issues and I've been away from it for so long. Anyway, there were certain issues that were not to my taste and certain negative allegations said against me by certain people within the programme that were grossly unfair and I don't think I should give them the opportunity of me going back."

He also argued that the programme "hasn't got the qualities it had" and that it "hasn't got the depth", following his departure five years ago.
