What’s been your most frightening moment on the show? Oh Gosh, there’s been so many, but I suppose it have to be watching Stuart being scratched in Edinburgh; and also we did a live in America, and again a scratching occurred there, and that was very, very frightening. When you see somebody in complete agony, and then they take their top and their clothing off, and there’s these massive lashes across their back or on their arm. You just think ‘My God, what are we dealing with here?’ It plays on your mind a little bit.

Is there any place you’d love to go back to, or investigate for the first time? I’d like to go back to America to the State Penitentiary, because so far, none of the British fans have seen what actually happened there. We did a seven-hour live show, it’s somewhere I’d like to go back for the British viewers because it’s a real treat. It’s absolutely terrifying. (Find out more in this series of Most Haunted)

What’s the strangest thing that has happened to you during a Most Haunted shoot? At the Manor House, I heard a man’s breath in my ear and it wasn’t a member of the crew.

What is the bravest thing you’ve ever done? Being on my own in the Red Lion Inn where I felt something touch the top of my head on more than once occasion.

How did you get into doing the Most haunted shows? By chance really. Myself and Karl [her husband] had both had strange things happen to us over the years but you tend to put these things out of your mind in individual circumstances. It's only when you sit down and start discussing them and batting them backward and forward, you realise there might be something a little more than coincidence involved. That's when we decided to look at how we could possibly get something off the ground.

What's the best thing about working on Most Haunted? Working with a fabulous production team of dedicated individuals I'd say. The interaction between them and the investigation team is so good to see and makes you realise just why you do what you do. There's a great sense of personal satisfaction in that and makes it all worthwhile.
