Human magnet Brenda Allison, 50, attracts coins and paperclips in the same way as a magnet!

She also sets off car alarms short-circuits tills and blows light bulbs.

“Metal objects appear to stay put more on my bones than muscles. It makes people laugh when I show them. I feel like a fridge covered in magnets,” she said.

“There’s nothing more embarrassing than going into Sainsbury’s and suddenly the tills stop working.

“I used to set off my son’s battery-operated toys just by walking into his room. And I make televisions flicker and lights blow.”

It’s believed that her electro-magnetic field – something all people have – is much more powerful than everyone else’s.
