Uri Geller has threatened to telepathically stop Brexit if Theresa May refuses to do so.

The celebrity psychic, who became famous for his ability to bend metal spoons, has written to the Prime Minister saying: “I feel psychically and very strongly that most British people do not want Brexit.

“I love you very much but I will not allow you to lead Britain into Brexit.

“As much as I admire you, I will stop you telepathically from doing this.”

In the letter, published by the Jewish Telegraph, Mr Geller goes on to say: “Before I take this drastic course of action, I appeal to you to stop the process immediately while you still have a chance.”

The letter, which begins “My dear Theresa”, says Mr Geller has known Mrs May for more than 21 years, after she became his local MP.

It describes how Mr Geller predicted in 2014 that Mrs May would become Prime Minister after he had a vision while showing her which spoon belonged to Winston Churchill.

Mr Geller finishes the letter saying: “Although I currently live in Israel I am still a British citizen and feel very passionately about the country and the people I came to love.”
