Supernatural skills: Derek Acorah appeared to commune with spirits during the show

Viewers have branded Celebrity Big Brother’s Derek Acorah a ‘fake’ after he showed off his psychic skills with a séance in the house.

The celebrity medium was tasked with discovering which of the two bedrooms was the spookiest.

He gathered all the housemates in each of bedroom and requested Big Brother turn out the lights, before seeming to speak to spirits in the rooms.

While Acorah did manage to successfully channel a spirit through Sandi Bogle who appeared to become possessed by the ghostly presence of Acorah’s grandmother, he had less success with Jordan Davies.

Acorah invited the 25-year-old to commune with a spirit called Malcolm, a process which involved Davies stripping off to his boxers.

Despite Davies gamely removing his clothing, he was unable to channel Malcolm.

But Acorah reassured him that he might get another chance at a supernatural experience, saying: “Sorry that you’ve failed, but you might get the opportunity again in the future with someone else.”

While the housemates seemed caught up in the spooky atmosphere, viewers at home were less convinced, branding Acorah a ‘fake’ and a ‘fraudster’.

Some felt that Malcolm the spirit’s request that Jordan strip off was just an excuse to get the Ibiza Weekender star naked.

But others enjoyed the séance, calling the spiritual medium ‘entertaining’.

Sarah Lucy Simpson commented: “Well @derek_acorah well and truly completed that task. It was brilliant and it looked like they all enjoyed it.”

Celebrity Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on Channel 5.
