Sadly, Derek passed away on 4th January 2020, however his mark on this world and on the spiritual community will last forever.

Derek became aware of his special gifts as a young boy at the age of six, when he encountered the spirit of his late grandfather at his grandmother’s home in Liverpool. At the time he did not realize that he was seeing a spirit person but when speaking with his grandmother, who was a medium herself, she realized that Derek was the one out of all her grandchildren who would carry on with the gift.

As a boy, Derek’s interests lay in the area of football, and he went on to have a successful career in the game; coupling with this, he was always aware that he “knew” things that others did not. Occasionally, he would pass on messages to his colleagues and fellow players, but tended to not do this very often. The world of football was not the place for a medium in those early days.

A serious leg injury saw an end to Derek’s footballing career in his late twenties, whilst playing for an Australian team. He decided to return to his home town and from thereon he dedicated his life to working with spirit.

Derek’s career saw him become the pioneer for the demonstration of his gifts, both in the media and on stage. He was the first-ever medium to broadcast his theatre shows live on the internet.

Derek was the only medium in history to have been invited to demonstrate at the iconic Oxford Union – an honour that no other medium has repeated. His photograph is up there on the walls of the ancient building along with other photographs of the great and the good. He is the only medium ever to receive a Variety Club of Great Britain Personality of the Year Award, thus demonstrating his appeal beyond the world of Spiritualism. Derek has also been the recipient of an as yet unmatched five Soul & Spirit Magazine awards in one season.

An author with eleven books under his belt, Derek was also a contributor to “Fate & Fortune Magazine” and “Soul & Spirit Magazine”, producing a monthly column for both publications.

Derek was honoured in 2003 to be asked to become Patron of Pathfinder Dogs which is a charity training German Shepherd Dogs to become guides for blind people. He was passionate in his quest to raise funds for this unique and well-deserving charity.

As well as paranormal programming such as “Derek Acorah’s Predictions”, “Most Haunted”, “Derek Acorah’s Ghost Towns”, “The Trail of Guy Fawkes”, “Antiques Ghost Show”, “Paranormal Egypt” and Sky 1’s “Derek Acorah”, Derek’s charisma and charm made him a most welcome guest on numerous television programmes ranging from “Dr. Who” to “Bo Selecta”, “Loose Women”, “The Weakest Link”, “Big Brother’s Bit on the Side”, “Britains Got More Talent”, “Through The Keyhole” and many many more. In August 2017, Derek spent almost a month in the Celebrity Big Brother House where he endeared himself to the wider audience and ended up a finalist, coming fourth in the ranking.

Derek was always a dedicated worker for Spirit, connecting people with their loved ones in the Spirit World and brought proof of survival on a daily basis. Derek was one of life’s special people whose appeal crossed the generations from young and old alike. Where Derek went, it wasn't long before other people followed, but there will only ever be one “Derek Acorah”!

Derek and Gwen were patrons of the Pathfinder Dogs charity, as this is a foundation that sat very close to their hearts. Gwen remains an avid supporter, ensuring that Derek’s work continues on for them.
