I found the link for this on Facebooks MH page, make of it what you will
Dear All
As you all know, Most Haunted has been, not only my baby but, a serious passion of mine since Karl and I came up with the idea ten years ago. We sold just about everything we could and got a huge loan to make the pilot, we fought so hard to get it on the screens, we didn’t let the constant knock backs stop us until eventually it was taken by Living (UK Living as it was known then), and the rest is history, a history that you have helped make.
The show has won awards here in the UK, in New York and sold around the world, it has been parodied by the legendary ‘Saturday Night Live’ in the USA, French and Saunders here in Blighty and even watched by royalty. It was cited as having a pivotal role in Living winning ‘Broadcast Channel of the Year’ and constantly returning the channels highest ratings, it is the most successful paranormal show in history and something we are very proud of. No other show has been copied, parodied and plagiarised so much, if it is true that imitation is highest form of flattery, we consider ourselves very flattered.
The success of the show is purely down to a great team, the odd ghost and, YOU, the fans who have given me so much support and encouragement over the years, it is because of you that I have managed to continue through some very hard times and difficult decisions. The highs have been truly high and the lows very trying but we made it through and came out with a show that I can stand by confidently and say I did my best.
At the start I wanted to bring paranormal investigations to a wider audience, making them more acceptable and with the ever growing amount of investigation groups that have started since Most Haunted began I feel that has been achieved.
It has been a great 10 years, however, after a lot of thought and soul searching over the past year, I have come to a decision, it is now time for me to hang up my long black coat, move on and leave Most Haunted, as it’s presenter, in order to pursue other projects. I hope that the brand will continue for years to come as it will always be dear to me.
As well as continuing with ITV2’s ‘Ghosthunting with…’, which grows from strength to strength and with some great celebrity guests coming up remains must-watch TV, I will be carrying on my quest to find paranormal activity on other channels taking investigations further than ever before and expanding on what I have already done.
I have felt for some time that I wanted to move paranormal investigations to the next level; this is in no small part due to the 1000’s of letters and emails I get asking to go further and move forward, so in answer to you, the fans of the paranormal, that is what I am doing.
In leaving, I want to say a huge thanks to a great team of investigators that have turned the show into a household name, the tech crew who have been on the shows and the lives and to Living for broadcasting the show over the past 10 years, but my biggest thanks is to you the viewers, Most Haunted owes you a true debt of gratitude. I truly can’t thank you enough.
Carry on ghost finding, as for me that’s not so much goodbye as see you on the other side!
