Crystal O'Future


Real Name: Bev Scaggs
Born: Norton (in an unspecified year)
Spirit Guide: Alan Kerb

 
Crystal connected with spirit guide Alan at a young age. She met him while shoplifting jelly beans from a local sweet shop. She later changed her name at Alan's insistence.

She has a 2:2 in Media Studies from Stoke Polytechnic (now known as Staffordshire University).

Crystal is married to local businessman Keith O'Future (born: Keith Coolio). She met him while working as a spiritual adviser to several of Stoke's coal mines.

Crystal is the astrologer for local newspapers The Daily Gargoyle and The Evening Oatcake.

She has also written several books including 'A Medium Life', 'Scaggs For The Memories', 'Scaggs To The Future', 'The Psychic Cookbook' and the best-selling 'Crystal O'Future: My Story'.

Crystal has appeared on many TV shows including her own ITV2 specials 'Crystal O'Future: Star Psychic' and 'Crystal's Christmas House Party', and she appeared in 'Peter Andre: Going It Alone' in 2009, where she investigated the Australian pop muncher's new property. She advised Mr Andre that his property was haunted and that he needed to bury some badger bones at a nearby pet cemetary to appease angry spirits, something he did gladly.

Crystal is the personal spiritualist to local darts world champion "Fingers" Phil Taylor. Taylor, who was convicted in 2001 of indecently assaulting two female fans in a camping van (something Crystal has distanced herself from), owes much of his success to Crystal's guidance.

Crystal was implicated in the recent phone-hacking allegations involving The Daily Gargoyle newspaper, something she vehemently denies. ("It's a big bag of hairy old man's bollocks," she says on the topic.)
