And it turns out The Real Housewives of Cheshire isn't Deborah's first TV show because she's actually a psychic medium.

In fact, she's is the expert psychic medium on Sky’s Unexplained: Caught On Camera. She's also appeared on This Morning - who knew, ey?

Opening up about her life story on her website, Deborah explained, "From day one I could see ghosts, and fairy’s too, I called them ‘little people’. I could write long before going to school, and I used to draw pictures of my previous life constantly when I was around 3 years of age.

"I first realised that I saw the world differently when I started school, the look on other children’s faces when I pointed out who I could see said it all. I soon gained the nickname Witchypoo from my friends."
