A fortune teller who uses asparagus to predict the future seems to have predicted Joe Biden's exit from the US presidential election.

The world's only asparamancer Jemima Packington, who uses fresh Worcestershire asparagus grown in the Vale of Evesham, predicted in the Worcester News in January that a woman would win the US election.

She said in an article on January 1: "...the United States will see their first female president." 

Ms Packington, who previously lived in Evesham, also appeared on Jeremy Vine's Radio 2 show on Wednesday (July 17) and made her prediction live on air again.

When asked by Jeremy Vine to predict whether the US election winner would be current US President Joe Biden or Donald Trump, Ms Packington said: "I can tell you it’s neither of them. It’s a lady. Now, I keep on getting this. The next president of the United States is going to be a lady."

Just four days later, Biden announced that he would be withdrawing from the election race before throwing his support behind Vice President, Kamala Harris, to enter the race herself.

Ms Packington claims she can see into the future by throwing spears of Worcestershire asparagus into the air, and reading the patterns in how they land.

Earlier this year, the fortune teller predicted that England would enjoy strong Euro 2024 campaign, though Gareth Southgate's side would ultimately lose 2-1 in the final against Spain.

Ahead of the tournament, Ms Packington said: "England fans have every right to be positive and optimistic if the spears are anything to go by.

"The spears keep giving positive readings. England is going to do very well, and I think we will see us winning it. Watch this space."

Among Ms Packington's other high-profile predictions were Brexit, Queen Elizabeth II's death, and Harry and Meghan quitting the Royal Family.

In December 2022, the asparamancer also correctly predicted industrial strikes will cause unrest across the country and Covid continuing under a different strain.

Ms Packington said: "Seeing the patterns for me is instantaneous, possibly because I’ve had years of practice."

"I am usually about 75-90 per cent accurate with my predictions. I go through my predictions each year and think: 'Yep, that's happened, yep, that's happened.'

"Occasionally, I get one slightly off, where I haven't quite read it correctly, but I'm never far off."
