Telly legend Christopher Biggins came face to face with a spook at the end of his hotel bed.
The Rentaghost star, 74, said he had an “extraordinary” experience in Kent.
Former Celebrity Big Brother star Biggins revealed: “Do you know, I have just been asked to do a programme about ghosts. And I have seen a ghost – in a hotel.

“I was in bed, and there was a terrible coldness that came through in the middle of the night.
“And I woke up, and I saw a woman walking at the bottom of the bed. It was extraordinary.”

Speaking at last week’s Spirit of Northern Ireland Awards, he also rubbished any suggestion that AI – artificial intelligence – could knock him off his perch as the king of pantomime.
He said: “No they’re not. I have no fears, I suppose they could do a Biggins voice but listen, it won’t be the same!

It’s little wonder then that the former Porridge actor is so loved by the public after so many years in showbiz.
He said: “Living legend is a great expression and as you get older, and I’m 75 this Christmas, I appreciate that.
”To be called a national treasure? They’re all fabulous things and it’s wonderful and when I look back on my career and see what I have done, I understand why people say that, I think it’s marvellous that I’ve done so much to help so many people.

“I enjoy life and I think that comes over and I love people so it’s good.”
But one low point that still rankles is being booted out of Celebrity Big Brother – while now-jailed Stephen Bear stayed on the show.
He fumed: “You’ve got to remember they wanted him, he was doing a TV series for Channel 5 and they wanted him to win and I was the one who was going to win and so, you know, he’s a c*** of the first order if you pardon my French,
“He’s in prison now, thank God, but you know, they thought I couldn’t weather the storm and I did weather the storm!”
