Toyah Willcox takes on the dead

Toyah Willcox says a séance held by medium Ian Lawman for Living TV's 'Living With The Dead' left her spooked, with one sceptic possessed and an exorcism performed.

Toyah Willcox has revealed that she was spooked by a séance held at her home by medium Ian Lawman for Living TV's 'Living With The Dead'. She said: "I live in an incredibly old house - the oldest part of it is [from] 1510 - and there's a lot of activity in it, but none of it scares me. I said, 'Please don't get rid of any of the spirits here, I've got very used to them and don't have a problem with them'. That said, when Ian Lawman came in, some pretty amazing things happened. Two of the sceptics got possessed and we had to do an exorcism. After that I said to Ian, 'Look, you're going to leave me alone in this house, you can bloody well clear it of anything that's going to make my life hell!'"

She added that the most distressing part was when one of the sceptics taking part was possessed by a suicidal ghost: "I said during the filming that I didn't want it to continue and [asked for] the person to be moved on". I would have just asked them to be less distasteful and pretend to be possessed by something a bit nicer.
