"Psychic Sally Morgan hears voices from the other side (via a hidden earpiece)" was the headline that shocked Britain's best-loved psychic fans last week, as papers claimed that Sally Morgan may not be all she seems. On today's show fellow psychic Leigh Catherine speaks out to defend Sally, saying that she would never con people and she would be very surprised to hear if the allegations against her are true. But against psychics - branding them as fakes - is magician Paul Zenon who says that communing with the dead and predicting the future is a load of "crystal balls!"
