TV psychic Colin Fry dies from lung cancer aged 53

TV psychic Colin Fry has died at the age of 53, his management team announced.

The medium, who appeared on 6ixth Sense with Colin Fry and Most Haunted, had been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in April.

A statement on his official website said: "It is with much sadness and regret to announce that the Reverend Colin Fry, Britain’s most loved and respected Spiritualist Medium, lost his fight against cancer and passed away peacefully in hospital at 2:50am this morning.

"Colin brought a lot of comfort to his audiences in a career which spanned for more than 30 years.

"Our sympathies and condolences go out to Colin’s family and friends.

"We, as his management, for many years would like to add that he was the most charming man with the biggest heart, who devoted his life to helping others.

"He will be sorely missed. May his dear soul rest in peace."

Most Haunted medium Derek Acorah took to Twitter to offer his condolences.

In what is believed to be his last interview Fry said he had "no problem whatsoever" with death and would be "quite happy to leave my body behind - as it will probably be worn out then".
