Burton Mail readers have been given a big thank you from TV's former Most Haunted presenter who came fourth in this year's Celebrity Big Brother.

Derek Acorah featured in the Burton Mail after Woodville man Mart Cooper saw his poster creations on television and social media, urging viewers to vote for the star.

Spiritual medium Mr Acorah made the final of the Channel 5 competition which sees a group of celebrities living together as housemates before being voted out by viewers each week.

Mr Cooper, a 31-year-old graphic designer, works for Mr Acorah having been a fan since his Most Haunted days in 2002.

Now, the TV psychic has released a video thanking the Burton Mail readers for their support during his time in the house – a competition eventually won by Girls Aloud's Sarah Harding.

He said: "This is a very special big thank-you to the Burton Mail readers for your fantastic support while I was in the Celebrity Big Brother house. Thank you all from bottom of my heart."
