Kathy Burke claims to have spiritual powers

Kathy Burke claims to have spiritual powers.

The former ‘Gimme Gimme Gimme’ star felt “a bit psychic” when she had a strange encounter with a Syrian cab driver.

The 60-year-old comedian recalled on her podcast ‘Where There’s A Will, There’s A Wake': “I had a funny moment with this cab driver I said to him, ‘Where are you from? I’m pretty good at accents and I can’t place your accent.

“And he said, ‘I’m Syrian.’

“For some reason I found myself saying, ‘Well, maybe in your past life, you were a bird because they are mimics.

“Well, this guy shut off the radio, He looked at me in the rear-view mirror and went, ‘Two mornings ago, I woke up from the most beautiful dream I’ve ever had. I was flying over Syria. And when I woke up, my first thought was that I used to be a bird.

“I said, ‘I’m happy to confirm.’ I’m maybe a little bit psychic.”

Meanwhile, Kathy previously revealed she enjoys ranting on social media and loves it when her followers tell her off for using bad language - which she has claimed she picked up from nuns at her convent school - as it reminds her of her dad.

She said: "I came on to Twitter in my 50s and I sort of think that was perfect. I am just a ranting old lady really and I like it. If I get angry about stuff – I have to say I can use quite fruity language at times which isn't to everyone's taste.

"I am always being told off for using bad language but it's sort of lovely really, because it makes me think of my lovely dad who was constantly shouting at me for bad language."
