Haunted host Yvette ‘speaks’ to father

MOST Haunted presenter Yvette Fielding has said she is closer to her father’s ghost than she was to him when he was alive.

Yvette claims they regularly exchange messages and her dad once told her she was a “skinny cow” after dieting too much.

The 51-year-old said: “This may seem strange, but I have more of a relationsh­ip, and a better relationsh­ip, with my father since he passed over than when he was alive. Try and figure that out.” She says the pair communicat­e by using taps to represent letters of the alphabet and spell out words.

“I’ll say, ‘Can you give me a message? Two for yes, one for no.’

“Two taps will come through. And then I’ll say ‘OK, is the first letter on this line?’ This line... tap. “Then I’ll point to a letter and he’ll tap to each

TV Yvette letter. My dad has come through with all sorts, telling me to get Rick my brother to come home [ from America].

“He told me to stop dieting, ‘Too much, skinny cow’.”

Speaking on the Acting For Others podcast with former Blue Peter co-host Mark Curry, Yvette said the paranormal world had “reshaped” her views on life – and convinced her there is an afterlife.

She said: “Before I got into it, I remember feeling sad thinking, ‘Gosh, when you’re dead, you’re dead, there’s nothing’. Twenty years of doing this and

I know 100% there is life after death. There’s a reason for us being here. It’s made me a much happier person.”

Yvette also said the ghostly-goings on shown on Most Haunted are “100%” real, despite social media sceptics regularly claiming: “You faked it”.

She added: “I used to get so upset, when people would say, ‘How can you sleep at night? You’re a disgusting person who makes money from dead people.’

“Now it doesn’t upset me at all because I know the truth.”

Yvette is writing her autobiogra­phy entitled Here’s One I Screamed Earlier.
