A woman who discovered she can see spirits at her nan's funeral has become a medium and celebrities are queuing up for her readings. Chloe Smith, 25, boasts a string of soap and reality TV star clients, including the likes of Gemma Collins, Kerry Katona, Amy Childs and Brooke Vincent, who are all said to be fans.
The mum-of-three only became a psychic 12 months ago but has already racked up 150,000 followers on social media. Chloe began helping people with readings for free but enjoyed it so much that she started her own business last January, and now charges around £35 a time.
She has also helped Helen Skelton, Daisy May-Cooper, Love Island's Maura Higgins as well as Amanza Smith and Chrishell Stause from Netflix's Selling Sunset.
Chloe, from Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, shot to fame after Nadia Essex from Celebs Go Dating reached out to her for a session and recommended her on social media.
It wasn't long before stars of Made In Chelsea, Geordie Shore, Hollyoaks and Corrie then started flooding her DMs asking for spiritual guidance.
She also lists Belle Hassan from Love Island and EastEnders' Rita Simons among former celebrity clients as her popularity has grown.
Chloe claims she can see spirits everywhere she goes and can even sense them lurking behind unaware shoppers in the supermarket.
"I've always kind of sensed things happening before they were going to happen," Chloe said.
"My nan passed away four years ago and I went to her funeral and I saw her standing there. I went back and started seeing angels and dead people at home.
"It was such a positive feeling, I didn't feel anxious or scared. It does sound crazy but I'm really honest with how I see people."
Chloe is now a full-time medium and says she only needs a photograph to start connecting to the spiritual realm.
"I basically sense people's emotions and energy from a photo. I can sense people by going to a higher level," she explained.
"Your past loved ones can't come forward and say hi, I basically see symbols and signs or they use my body as a channel.
"To be honest it just comes to me and I see things in different ways. I start with a little bit of a speech and I welcome them to come forward.
"I use tarot cards to confirm information, but I only do positive information. I don't tell you when you're going to die and I can see past, present and future.
"I go with my gut feeling. I can help predict whether you're having a baby boy or a girl.
"I had a 99 per cent success rate for fertility readings. People are coming back to me a year later and saying I was right.
"I can see you in person or over the phone but most people prefer a photo. I had a lot of dreams from people telling me to use my gift - and that's what I did."
Chloe said she doesn't just provide psychic abilities but the chance to help with anxiety and depression.
She added: "I've spoken to Kelsey Parker who was married to Tom Parker from The Wanted, I speak to her quite a lot. I help her with the grieving process.
"Sue Radford, I speak to her a lot too. Quite a few people are on Hollyoaks, EastEnders and Coronation Street. I speak to Helen Skelton too."
Chloe said her clients are mainly women and she doesn't like to overcharge as she's "been there when you can't afford things".
"Spirit and ghosts are different, ghosts are tied to the location. It's a time-lapse with ghosts. Spirits look different to ghosts," she explained.
"Mainly everyone is psychic to an extent. My daughter is the youngest and she'll always tell me things I'm thinking.
"I know there's gonna be an ambulance coming around the corner. It's like that déjà vu feeling."
Chloe has recently started her own podcast on YouTube called the Chloe Mediumship Show where she teaches people about spirits.
