Reform's new chair appeared on Good Morning Britain (Image: Ken McKay/ITV/Shutterstock)
Say what you like about Reform – and many enthusiastically do, though not necessarily to the nascent party’s credit – but they’ve certainly brought a bit of much needed colour to stick-in-the-mud UK politics. One thing my co-host on GMB, Susanna Reid, and I have learned is that a live interview with someone from Reform is unlikely to be a dull affair.
Obviously leader Nigel Farage always makes for ‘good telly’ but his new chairman, Dr David Bull, certainly proved his chops this week on his very first day in the job. Dr Bull – already a TV ‘personality’ since his ghost-busting appearances on ‘Most Haunted’ a few years back – rolled up for his first live interview on Wednesday since taking over from outgoing chairman Zia Yusuf.

Don't miss: New Reform UK chairman breaks silence on burqa ban row
In terms of sheer interest, Dr Bull didn’t disappoint. After an enthusiastic canter through two of his fiercely-held beliefs (banning the Burka in Britain, and restoring the death penalty, both guaranteed crowd pleasers) I couldn’t resist asking him: ‘While you’re here ... do you really believe in ghosts?’
So many more conventional politicians would equivocate or hedge on something like that. Not the bull-at-a-gate doctor.

‘Like?’ Susanna asked him.
‘Well...’
There followed a breathless, vividly detailed account. Reform’s new chairman told us he was driving himself (alone) to a remote filming location for Most Haunted. His route took him through a dense, dark wood. Suddenly, he was convinced there was someone in the car with him. He was so sure of it he pulled over, check the rear seats, and even opened the car’s boot.
Nothing. No-one.

Later, at his hotel, the programme’s resident medium Derek Acora accosted the presenter. ‘You didn’t come here on your own, did you?’
‘What?’
‘Your late grandmother is with you.’
Dr Bull told us that the medium’s face then transformed and Acora suddenly leapt upon him and tried to strangle him. Programme security pulled him off and Bull, shaken, went to bed.

Next morning he asked a sheepish Acora why he’d tried to throttle him. The medium explained he’d been completely taken over by a ‘hostile presence’.
I couldn’t resist it. ‘Well, if he’d been successful he’d have been hanged by now under your regime, wouldn’t he?’ Bull had the grace to laugh.
See what I mean? Colourful!
