She's the psychic who Hollywood A-listers turn to in their hour of need - this month Sally Morgan will be using her gift to look into the past and future of the likes of Kate Lawler and the
WAGs Boutique girls in the new series
Extreme Psychic on ITV2. You'll be as surprised by the results as the stars themselves!
"It's great that the show's going out to the younger generation," says Sally. "The readings are quite controversial!". You'll see her speaking to the dead, doing some crime-busting and testing her powers via the website YouTube.
We caught up with Sally and found out how her gift has taken her on an amazing journey, including being a confidante to Princess Diana...
"I've known I was different since I was little. At nursery, I saw a man wearing a trilby standing by my friend every day. I asked my teacher why my grandfather couldn't come too, but she said there was no-one there. I touched the man's arm, told him my teacher couldn't see him. I was smacked by my teacher for talking to "thin air". After that, strange things happened all the time, like I saw a black mark down my friend Peg's back. A week later she died from TB.
No-one talked about being psychic back then. It was taboo. So my mum took me to the spiritualist church where we met people who accepted my gift. I believe we all have a valve in our brain that opens occasionally and a form of intuitive energy goes through us. For most people, it's like when you think of someone and then they call you, or when you feel somebody behind you. I think my valve opened when I was young and never shut.
Growing up, I found my gift hard to handle, especially as a teenager, when I didn't know I could switch it on and off. I had this squint that would get worse before a psychic moment. I felt as if I was on the ceiling, moving form corner to corner, watching people. Soon I became known as the girl who talked to dead people. By age 22, I was doing readings for whoever knocked on the door. I was scared sometimes - I still am occasionally - but learned how to control it. I found that if I asked to see something, it appeared. If I told an image or voice to go away, it did.
Famous Clients
At 40, I became a professional psychic. Until then, I'd been busy bringing up my daughters, Jemma, Rebecca and Fern, and working as a dental nurse. Being psychic doesn't run in my family, although my youngest, Fern, 28, has the ability to know things intuitively.
Gradually, I built up a client list through recommendations. I began seeing some very famous people. It's unbelievable - stars in Manhattan and Hollywood have heard of Sally Morgan, the English psychic! I've read for Uma Thurman, and Robert De Niro and his wife. I had to tell Uma she wouldn't stay with Ethan Hawke, and she wasn't very happy. They split up three or four years later. I also told her she'd do a film with an oriental twist, then she shot Kill Bill where she did martial arts.
I've seen George Michael a couple of times. He's a genius, sensitive, charming - adorable! I did readings at his birthday party a couple of years ago. Many of my high-profile clients are in business or politics. I'm very good friends with the family of John F. Kennedy, although I can't disclose which of them I see!
Celebrities are very vulnerable when they're with me. They're on show all the time and it's almost as if they want something for themselves. I will never talk about readings - it's like a confessional. I first met Princess Diana through a journalist friend, who told me someone at Kensington Palace wanted to see me. The next thing, I was being taken to a cottage in the grounds of the palace to meet the Princess's assistant, Helena Roach. I was there to do the reading for her sometime. I mean, what could I say, 'No actually, I've got to dash!'?
Finger On The Pulse
Diana was just so charming and kind. That first day, I remember admiring a 1950s milk bottle in Helena's kitchen. Diana suggested she give it to me. It was the start of a four-year friendship with the princess. I saw her often and spoke to her on the phone.
When I do a reading, I normally hold the person's watch. I work with the pulse and a watch sits near it. When I was a little girl, if I got a glimpse of someone's pulse on the their, I could see their life flashing before me. I held Diana's watch. It was solid gold with the Prince of Wales' feathers engraved on the back.
I predicted she would have a fling, with a sportsman, that a photo would be taken of them. After that, there were rumours of a tryst with rugby player Will Carling. I predicted Diana's death two years before it happened, when I did a reading for her sister Sarah. I could see the Queen being pulled from a car in a tunnel and someone doing CPR on her. Diana always said she'd like to be 'Queen of Hearts'. The reading was recorded. Four days after Diana's funeral, Sarah called and reminded me of the tape. She said the family had listened to it on the way to Althorp.
Psychic TV
I've been in contact with Diana once since her death, during a filmed experiment in the US. She said 'Why?' twice. I shot our of my chair, screamed my head off and ran to the back of the room. We had no idea that would happen.
I've contacted Ronnie and Reggie Kray for a video on villains - when the film crew turned on the lights, I blew every single bulb! They said my face changed and I actually looked and talked like Ronnie.
In Extreme Psychic, I want people to see that you don't have to use tarot cards and crystal balls to be psychic. For instance, they'll show me a photo of someone, and I'll tell them what's happened to them - often it's something grisly, like murder or suicide. I'm just an ordinary mum with an extraordinary gift. My girls find it hilarious that I'm on the telly, but it's my destiny."
Extreme Psychic, Fridays, 9pm, ITV2
I've seen a clip on youtube of Sally reeling off the names of the big celebs she's done readings for... Uma Thurman, Robert de Niro, the Garfunkel's, George Michael... is there any way of actually disproving these claims if they are (as I suspect) just made up?? If Sally can't disclose which of The Kennedy's she's pals with and gives readings to, why shout out the names of the other 'celebs'. surely, that can't be very professional, to reveal clients just for self promotion and effect.
