YVETTE Fielding has revealed she quit Most Haunted after her team were physically harmed by an evil spirit.
The seasoned presenter, 55, shot to fame as Blue Peter‘s youngest host in the 80s.
But these days Yvette is most known for her role on paranormal series Most Haunted.
She’s been at the helm of the long-running series since 2002 with her ghost-busting husband Karl Beattie.
However, Yvette threw in the towel live on air and quit Most Haunted after her team were left with bloody wounds during an investigation in Edinburgh.
Speaking to The Sun, the host revealed one member of the crew was rushed to hospital after being ‘cut to the bone’.
Yvette recalled: “We were in the room and the owner said ‘whatever you do, don’t stand in the middle of the stone circle’.
“It was because there was an old stone circle where 11 witches had come together and performed various rituals. Of course, three members of the team decided to provoke whatever was there and be a bit rude.
“While we were broadcasting on it, in front of the palace, one member screamed and shouted that his back was burnt. And I had to take his leather jacket off and you could see the blood coming through his t-shirt.
“And he’s still scarred to this day. Carl was in the centre of the circle holding the camera. And he screamed out because he had three deep cuts in the back of his neck.
“The worst one was the sound guy who collapsed onto the floor because he had such a deep cut in the side of his leg, you could see the bone. And he had to go to A&E to get it stitched up.”
Yvette was left so stunned by the ordeal that she resigned on air and didn’t leave her house for weeks.
She added: “It’s quite embarrassing because I actually resigned live on air because I just can’t understand what’s happened. And I saw it happen with my own eyes and it defied logic.
“And for the first time ever, I thought ‘oh, my God, ghosts can actually harm you’ and that was it.
“I was so frightened, I didn’t sleep for weeks and was too scared to leave the house.”
The presenter has released her latest book Most Haunted Castles, which recounts some of her spookiest experiences.
She’s currently on tour, travelling across the country with her Most Haunted Live stage show.
Meanwhile, Yvette recently revealed how the BBC never apologised to her after she spoke out about the bullying she faced on the beloved series.
