Britain’s ‘worst mother’ Karen Matthews has been told by a psychic that ‘men want to be with her and women want to be like her’.
The 44-year-old mother-of-seven, who was jailed in 2008 for staging the kidnap of her daughter Shannon to cash in on reward money, was said to be ‘quite flattered’ by the bizarre reading.
But Matthews, who is set to marry convicted paedophile Paul Saunders, was also warned of an upcoming ‘personal apocalypse’ and now sleeps with a snooker cue near her door for protection.

Matthews got engaged to handyman Saunders, 57, over Christmas.
He was jailed for five years in 2010 for sexually abusing a 15-year-old girl.
He was arrested on suspicion of breaching his parole terms after their engagement was revealed, but was later released.
Cops were called to her home last month over reports of a row between the couple and on one trip to the shops, Matthews was spotted without her £39.99 Princess Diana engagement ring.
Friends claimed Matthews bought the Cubic Zirconia cluster ring herself and was later reimbursed by Saunders but, during the time they had split last month, Matthews had considered trying to sell it.
Matthews and her then-partner’s uncle Michael Donovan were jailed for staging her daughter Shannon’s abduction in a bid to pocket reward money 12 years ago.
Donovan, now 51, drugged Shannon and held her captive in his flat in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, for 24 days in 2008.
Police then raided it and found her hidden inside a divan bed base.
The pair were each jailed for eight years after being convicted of kidnapping, false imprisonment and perverting justice.
Matthews was freed in 2012 after doing just four years.
