Denise Van Outen has claimed that she can control people through the power of her mind.

The actress and presenter said she has always been able to influence the thoughts of others by using her subconscious.

She told the Daily Express: "You wouldn't know it but I'm very good at using the power of the subconscious mind. It can be used as a way of persuading others to come round to a certain way of thinking. It's pretty useful really!"

Van Outen, who is currently dating Any Dream Will Do winner Lee Mead, is to reunite with former Big Breakfast co-host Johnny Vaughn on his Capital FM breakfast show this month.
