Derek Acorah: why the medium is the message

Derek Acorah: predicting the future for the celebrities.

And so to television medium Derek Acorah, who has sweetly broken off from giving vulnerable people messages from their dead children to promote his live tour in OK!. Talking to the magazine, Derek has stuck that spotless reputation of his on the line with a series of predictions about the futures of various celebrities.
Peter Andre "will marry in a white suit", hazards Derek, countering prevailing opinion that St Pete will pitch up to his next wedding in a classically understated morning coat, while "something major" will happen to Victoria Beckham. "She'll become revered, an almost Princess Di-like figure." But it is in contemplating Katie Price that our leading charlatan finds his most empathetic form. "Just after Christmas," he declares, "she'll lose it in public and need therapy at the deepest level."
Mmm. Do you think Derek would care to put even 10 pence of this money where his mouth is? You see, my own sixth sense is that it doesn't look great when one's craft is being questioned by Kerry Katona – comfortably one of the most suggestible creatures in showbiz.
"There wasn't much detail in there," sniffs Kerry of his prediction for her. "He basically just repeated what's in the press, to be honest . . ."
