This Morning favourite Sharon Marshall has claimed Emmerdale actress Samantha Giles helped her get pregnant by casting a “lucky spell”.
The soap expert revealed on This Morning in January that she is expecting her first baby at the age of 46.
And in a new interview with The Sun Online, Sharon said Samantha “put a Wicca spell on her” which helped her finally fall pregnant with partner Paul Fletcher.
Sharon said: “Sam, who plays Bernice (Blackstock), does lucky spells and she did a lucky spell to help me get pregnant.”
She added: “The timing was amazing, she does Wicca spells and other magic spells. It’s my good luck stone and they obviously work.”
Samantha has previously spoken out about Wicca, a modern Pagan movement, and how it helped her find husband, Sean Pritchard.
She told Lorraine Kelly on her show last year: “I’ve always been a wiccan, a white witch, so I cast a love spell before I met Sean to meet the right person.

“I use candles and crystals in the magic that I do. I wrote down exactly what I was after. Then I met Sean and he was exactly what I had written. It’s as if he appeared by magic!”
She added: “It’s not as bonkers as it sounds. Lots of people are into manifesting. A lot of people have read The Secret, it’s ritualising it and using all kinds of things.”
Now Sharon, who is a scriptwriter for Emmerdale, believes Samantha helped her conceive her first baby, who is due in July.
She was delighted to break the news she was expecting to Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield in January, who luckily had a box of tissues on hand as she broke out into “happy tears”.
She told them: “I’m pregnant. I am probably going to say everything wrong. I am a little bit emotional.”
