“Ooh no, ooh no,” gasps Psychic Sal. “Oh darling, he’s here you know, he’s here to say that he loves you.”

Another grateful believer almost swoons with delight as she receives what she believes, for no logical reason whatsoever, is a message from the spirit world.

With a delivery that comes over like something out of a Carry On film – Barbara Windsor meets Frankie Howerd? – Sally Morgan, ‘Psychic to the Stars’ is making a killing. How appropriate!

This one-time confidante and spirit medium to the late Princess Diana, packs in the punters wherever she appears.

It is the kind of turn that used to involve a ouija board, a mouth full of fake ectoplasm and a booth on the end of the pier. Only this is a mega-charged 21st century version complete with book deals, hit TV series and massive theatre tours.

I watched in fascination as her latest show rolled into Poole and this curious housewife superstar expertly worked a 1,500-strong predominantly female audience. Actually it was much bigger crowd if you count all the dead people that Sally says turned up.

They included two suicides, a murder victim and many others who had died of a various natural causes. Messages supposedly conveyed from the afterlife seemed a tad contrived to me but there were plenty who clearly found them genuinely comforting.
