Jackson seance show was bad, really bad
DEREK Acorah's Michael Jackson: The Live Seance has been named the worst programme of the past year.
James Corden and Matthew Horne's comedy sketch show Horne & Corden and Amanda Holden's circus-themed series Big Top also made the top five in the survey, which asked people to name 2009's biggest TV flop.
Television psychic Acorah's programme, which was broadcast live on Sky 1 in November and hosted by June Sarpong, racked up 33 per cent of the votes cast by more than 9,000 Yahoo! users ahead of last night's National Television Awards (NTA).
In the programme, Most Haunted star Acorah travelled with four Jackson fans to a house in Ireland where the late pop star once stayed. He claimed to have contacted the spirit of the pop star – who died last June – and relayed messages to friends and family.
A spokesman for Sky said of the poll result: "A celebration of Michael's life, the special struck a chord with Jackson's fans and attracted an audience in excess of 600,000."
