'He moved the phone charger!' Alex Best insists late husband George HAUNTS her from beyond the grave... leading Twitter users to brand her 'desperate' and 'shameless'
2017 has been a busy year for the relatives of late footballer George Best.
In January, first wife Angie was one of the stars of Celebrity Big Brother, along with their son Calum.
And on Friday's This Morning, second wife Alex joined Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes on the sofa to reveal that George hasn't quite departed the earthly plane.

'He moved the phone charger!' Alex Best insists late husband George haunts her from beyond the grave... leading Twitter users to brand her 'desperate' and 'shameless'
The 45-year-old, who married George in 1994, insisted that her late husband follows her from home to home, and continues to haunt her by moving her belongings.
'I did a pilot for a TV show and a psychic did a reading for me,' she explained before adding that a lot of what the psychic said rang true to her.
'I've moved three times and it happens wherever I go,' the blonde explained. 'I walk past the bathroom and the taps turn on.'
She went on to explain that a top of hers went missing from the top of her drawers, but that it reappeared again in the same place shortly afterwards.

Removal man: Questioning her on why she automatically assumes this is a ghost of her dead husband, Alex defended herself by insisting no-one else would come into her home and do that randomly
Alex's insistence that it's George - who died, aged 59, from organ failure following his alcoholism - was justified by the fact that it 'started happening after he died'
'I have a massive chest of drawers and it takes three men to move it,' she went on. 'And the other day it had moved out from the wall, I could see the marks where it had been on the floor.'
Questioning her on why she automatically assumes this is a ghost of her dead husband, Alex defended herself by insisting no-one else would come into her home and do that randomly.
She also explained that it's not just her alone who has experienced this paranormal spookiness.
'It's not just me, friends of mine who have been to stay have said the same,' she explained before recalling a chilling moment when one of their phone chargers went awol.

Skeptical: Some took to Twitter to voice their opinions on the interview
She also recounted that a belt that was on the floor of a bedroom appeared to vanish from thin air - only to turn up again one day when she was doing the hoovering.

'I've never really spoken about it with anyone because it's private,' the widow said, speaking in front of the millions of viewers watching at home.

What a belter: She also recounted that a belt that was on the floor of a bedroom appeared to vanish from thin air - only to turn up again one day when she was doing the hoovering
'How did Alex Best get booked to talk about George Best's ghost hiding her phone charger?!' asked one astounded viewer.
'Alex Best on TV saying George visits her as a ghost. So tacky still trying to make money from his name #thismorning,' came another opinionated tweeter.
'Sorry but think Alex Best should lay off the wine. Leave G.B be, it's all very attention seeking and possibly upsetting for @CalumBest,' one viewer posted, tagging George's son in the tweet.
'Someone is clearly desperate to be back in the public eye #Thismorning,' a third viewer typed.
Private experience: 'I've never really spoken about it with anyone because it's private,' the widow said, speaking in front of the millions of viewers watching at home
Someone else slammed Alex, posting: 'What a load of old b*****ks!! Are they short of guests?! Is she short of money for her next facial procedure?!'
Echoed by another: 'Alex Best just trying to make a name for herself and be relevant. Absolutely shameless. #best #7 #goat.'
Others pointed out that Alex's decision to tell the tale on national television was far from private, as she had previously stated.
One wrote: 'Alex Best: I haven't mentioned George possibly haunting me to his family... I wanted to keep it private... by going on #ThisMorning!'
Another typed: 'Alex Best tells Eamonn Holmes on This Morning (a national TV show) "I never wanted to mention it...it's private" #ThisMorning!'
Not alone: She also explained that it's not just her alone who has experienced this paranormal spookiness
Others were a tad more forgiving, however - even relating to her experiences.
'@thismorning @AlexandraBestx I've seen ghosts and I've heard ghosts talk to me...ghosts are very real!!!!' one person insisted, tagging Alex.
'@AlexandraBestx Thinking off you :) Take Care,' another supported tweeted.
Meanwhile on Channel 5, the Bests have been the talk of Celebrity Big Brother with mother and son Angie and Callum appearing alongside the likes of Kim Woodburn, Bianca Gascoigne and Jedward.
Neither have made it to the final, however, having both already been evicted, but are expected to take part in Friday night's finale.
