A few days ago Acorah had posted on Facebook about he and his wife being ill over the festive period.
He wrote: ‘Good morning everybody and I hope you’ve all had a spectacular celebration bringing in the new year and the new decade.
‘I spent the time quietly at home with Gwen as we’ve both had the awful flu bug which has brought us down so low, hence the reason for my lack of live presence on facebook.
‘I hope to be back within the next couple of days when I will be giving messages from spirit for the new year. Have a wonderful day everybody and much love to you all! X.’
