Looking for the strangest TV show of the year? Then your search may be over as Derek Acorah will attempt to contact Michael Jackson in a live séance to be broadcast next month. Yes, really.

The psychic medium, who made his name on Living's Most Haunted, will try to communicate with the late singer on Sky1's Michael Jackson: The Live Séance.

The programme will be part of a double-bill looking at the life and death of the singer and will give fans "a final chance to connect with their hero."

Speaking about the show, presenter June Sarpong said: "I've always been a huge Michael Jackson fan, he truly was the King of Pop, and I was shocked and saddened by his sudden death. I think viewers will find this programme intriguing and will want to tune in to see what happens.

"It's the first time I've done anything like this but I'm open-minded and can't wait to see what Derek uncovers," she added.

Sky1's director of programmes Stuart Murphy said: "There is an insatiable appetite to find out more about Michael Jackson. He was an extraordinary figure and the curiosity surrounding his life - and his death - stretches well beyond fans of his music.

Will you be tuning in to watch or perhaps you think it's in bad taste and will be switching off?

    Utter rubbish, he is a fraud. I don't believe him for a minute, all the things he says aren't acurate, and even I could pretend better than him !

    It is a well known fact that Derek Acorah was sacked from "Most Haunted" for being a complete fraud, just "Google" it and you will see. I do believe in the paranormal, but I don't believe this Guy for one minute. The only thing this Guy is possesed with, is his own self importance !!! Why would anyone want to employ, or even watch an obvious fraud?
