Jackson features in Surviving Death's second and third episodes – Mediums – during which she delivers a reading for Mike Anthony, a man who visits mediums to communicate with his late father, and Sue Walkley, whose daughter died aged 35.
Jackson realised she had an ability to communicate with the dead when she was 11 years old, she reveals in the documentary.
"I had this moment of just knowing I needed to see [my grandfather]. That sense of panic didn't go away until I got to his house and spent the day with him," she says. "That was the last time I ever saw him alive. He ended up going to the hospital two days later where he was diagnosed with advanced leukaemia and he died within two weeks."
