In her predictions for 2006 (made in late 2005) she got every single one wrong. Including Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie getting married, Zara Phillips and her boyfriend Mike Tindall announcing their engagement, Prince Edward and Sophie Wessex announcing a pregnancy and floods in Italy, none of which occurred.

In 2006 Tracy filmed a series for Zone Reality, with Tony Stockwell and Colin Fry called "Psychic Private Eyes". The programme caused controversy by using psychics to investigate unsolved murders. Especially as Fry has already been at the centre of an expose, where someone switched a light on and saw him holding a trumpet which he'd just claimed was floating in the air.
