TV medium Derek Acorah, is said to have made a bit of a prat of himself on a recent flight to Gatwick.

Derek, who claimed to have chatted with dead pop star Michael Jackson on a recent TV show, reportedly shouted and swore on the passenger flight and even stood up to walk about when the seat belt lights wer lit for landing.

Fellow passenger Jenny Hurley, told The Sun: “He had to be told to sit down, then he went really potty. He shouted, ‘F*** Gatwick! What’s England got going for it anyway?’ ”

Jenny added: “He didn’t seem to know where he was – and appeared drunk even before the plane took off. He started quarrelling with his wife in the row behind me, swearing and shouting. She wasn’t pleased at him leering at a stewardess. When a child started crying he shouted, ‘Is that your f****** baby?’”

Jenny later spotted Derek stumbling around the baggage hall. She said: “It was hilarious. For someone who is meant to be a psychic, he couldn’t tell which bag was his.”

Last night Acorah’s agent said: “He was on antibiotics for a chest infection and had four little bottles of red wine. I can only assume that affected him in some way.”
