EXCLUSIVE: Pop icon Sinitta says she protects herself from ghosts with her poodle because she thinks the pooch can usher away evil spirits – ‘I’m such a scaredy-cat,’ admitted the 80s icon
Sinitta uses her pet poodle to protect herself from ghosts as the 80s pop legend is convinced the dog has the power to ward off evil spirits.
She told the Daily Star Sunday: “I’m such a scaredy-cat. Whenever I go to a venue that seems a bit funny, I bring my dog. She’s only tiny, but she can change the atmosphere. I’m like The White Witch. I try to deflect those things.”
Sinitta believes she experienced paranormal activity a few years ago and she was terrified. She said: “I was doing a panto with psychic Sally Morgan and I witnessed things. Crazy stuff would go down when she was around. So I had incense, I had my dog, I had white sage and the crystals came out.
“I was doing everything I could.”
Sinitta lives in fear of being targeted by a spirit from the other side.
The star, is currently playing at old venues around the country in new stage show Now That’s What I Call A Musical! and she’s keen to make sure she doesn’t get any unexpected visitors in her dressing room.
She said: “As soon as anything paranormal happens, I don’t like it. I’m such a chicken. I believe that once you open that door, you can’t control what you’re inviting in. I don’t encourage it. I scare easily. I don’t even watch horror movies.”
The choreography for Now That’s What I Call A Musical! was created by Strictly Come Dancing judge and star Craig Revel Horwood. Along with Sinitta, guest performances from Sonia, T’Pau’s Carol Decker and Jay Osmond were all billed across different dates on the tour.
Craig said in August last year the 1980s-focused musical, which follows school friends Gemma and April as they embark on a school reunion, “is about encouraging people to sing along, have a laugh”.
Discussing whether he thinks audience members should be able to sing at the theatre, he said: “If you’re coming to the theatre, you have every right, if you know the tune, to sing along.
“You know, particularly in this, I mean, obviously you wouldn’t want to hear someone singing badly through Les Miserables, would you? But Do You Hear The People Sing? I think that is a song that can generate the audience to sing.”
