All right, aliens are real. And they are communicating with us right now. Now, I am talking, of course, about alien channeling. So basically, if you&#8217;re not familiar with alien channeling, then that obviously sucks for you because it either means that you haven&#8217;t been selected by interdimensional light beings as a worthy recipient of direct messages from the Galactic Council, or your algorithm is okay.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jokingly, he continued: &#8220;So, in a nutshell, alien channeling is when a medium &#8211; it could be anyone &#8211; it could be you, Ian, becomes a vessel for receiving the consciousness of an alien, who then imparts vital wisdom that is important to the actual future of humanity. Now I know what you&#8217;re all thinking. Ian hasn&#8217;t been a medium since the early &#8217;90s. I&#8217;m sorry. Sorry, low-hanging fruit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image__img\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/will-best-iain-stirling-1-c393ba2.jpg\" alt=\"Iain Stirling looking shocked as he looks in the direction of the audience.\" data-item-name=\"Iain Stirling looking shocked as he looks in the direction of the audience.\" title=\"will-best-iain-stirling (1)\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1 \/ 0.6666666666666666;object-fit:contain\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"466.66666666666663\" data-testid=\"image-img\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Iain Stirling.\u00a0Comedy Central<\/p>\n<p>You can watch the full clip above.<\/p>\n<p>Will Best is currently starring on Strictly Come Dancing, and is in a pair with Dianne Buswell.<\/p>\n<p>Will said of joining Strictly Come Dancing is &#8220;a dream come true&#8221;!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My main feelings are a mixture of delirious excitement, and terror, and I think that&#8217;s healthy,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It still feels surreal and I can&#8217;t quite picture myself on the show \u2013 it seems crazy that I&#8217;m going to be doing the thing that I&#8217;ve watched so many other people do for so long.
