A psychic who correctly predicted the winner of Celebrity Big Brother says a leading sceptic owes him $1 million.

American James Randi has agreed to pay the sum if anyone can prove that psychic powers exist.

Gary Fowler claims he has done just that, after successfully predicting Mark Owen would win Celebrity Big Brother, before the line-up of the show was even announced.

He delivered his prediction to The Northern Echo newspaper offices two weeks ago. The newspaper says the envelope containing the prediction was kept in a locked safe in its offices, until the winner was announced.

Northern Echo features editor Nick Morrison, who opened the envelope, said: "When he gave me the envelope, he was certain it was right. There was never any doubt in his mind.

"I am very sceptical of these things and I have to say I was pretty surprised when he was proved correct."

Mr Fowler, who lives in Teesside, claims to have had a childhood reminiscent of the hit film Sixth Sense, telling his mother from an early age that he "saw dead people".

He told The Northern Echo: "At five, I used to wake up in the middle of the night and see figures of spirits. I thought it was normal until my mother didn't seem to know what I was talking about. It began to frighten me.

Mr Fowler said he communicates with spirits on the other side, who tell him about the future, which is how he predicted the Big Brother winner.

Mr Fowler claims he knows about huge events that will unfold within the next year, and he says he has information for world leaders.
