A TV psychic is claiming £150,000 in compensation after a car crash allegedly made him lose his fortune-telling powers. 

Maurice Amdur, 56, is suing the insurers of driver Ilya Kyrlov after he rear-ended the mystic at Marble Arch roundabout in central London in January 2015.

While the insurers admit liability for the crash they claim that Mr Amdur, who predicted the futures of This Morning’s Phillip Schofield and Fern Britton in 2009, is ‘fundamentally dishonest’.

They say that Mr Amdur has exaggerated his injuries after the crash and his claims about lost earnings are ‘not credible’, according to The Sun

Mr Amdur said he wasn’t able to lift a kettle for two weeks after he was hit in his Jaguar XJR convertible.  

He added that he was in so much pain that for years he was unable to concentrate enough to predict the future.

And went on to tell Central London county court that he temporarily lose the use of his arms. 

The case continues.
