Alex Best: George Best's ghost haunts me from beyond the grave

George Best’s ex-wife has appeared on ‘This Morning’ and claimed she is being haunted by his ghost.

Alex Best was married to the Northern Irish soccer legend from 1995 until a year before his death in 2005 and has insisted she has been visited by his ghost ever since.

George was considered one of Manchester United’s greatest players of all time and passed away in 2005 aged 59 after suffering complications from the immunosuppressive drugs he was required to take after a liver transplant he had in 2002.

Speaking to Eamonn Holmes, she said she can’t explain why she believes it to be George’s ghost and added: “I don’t know it is, but it just started since he has gone.”

She went on: “On the morning of the funeral I went to go to walk out of the hotel door and as I walked past the bathroom on the right-hand side every single tap and shower turned on. It’s strange little things.

“Things go missing. I’ll have a top and I’ll go to my drawer and I know I’ve put it there and then all of a sudden I’ll want to wear it and it’s not there. I’ll take everything out of the drawers and put everything back in again and a week later it’s there on top.

“I have a massive chest of drawers that takes three people to move it and the other day it had moved out. You can tell from the carpet marks,” she told Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford on ‘This Morning’ earlier today.

The former ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ contestant, 45, also claims her friends have experienced the strange paranormal activity too.

She added: “My friends have stayed with me and lost their phone chargers. A belt has gone missing but a year later it’s there on the floor.”

George is the father of ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ star Calum Best, his son with ex-wife Angie Best.
