    The title says it all. Once again RTE gives air time to proven fraudsters and charlatans.

    Saw him on Podge and Rodge, they should have been harder on him. Never really watched most haunted, is he a fraud or just completely insane?

    Not even they are cruel enough to pick on the mentally challenged.

    Total fraud and crap at it too. He was exposed on that show the extract in the OP is from. However he seems to have his own show on one of the other satellite channels now. Apparently theres times hes the "Alan Partridge" of mediums.

    Derren Brown mentions meeting him and Myleene Klass in his book "Tricks of the Mind". The pair of them don't come off too well.

    Everyone else is a fraud? I really need to be a little bit more suspicious in life.

    That wasnt meant to imply that everyone else is a fraud :o

    What I meant is that he has found a way to make a living whether it be fraudulent or not I still find him very entertaining.
