URI QUITS OVER SEX STUNTS

Uri Geller on Back to Reality CH5

URI GELLER sensationally walked out of TV’s Back To Reality show – because he refused to join in a tacky drinking game.

He quit as the Channel 5 reality series plumbed new depths of bad taste in a desperate bid to win ratings.

Uri and fellow housemates had been told to drink vodka from the private parts of ice statues of a man and woman. Deeply religious Uri watched in horror as Driving School’s Maureen Rees bent over and supped booze from the iceman’s willy.

Then royal love rat James Hewitt guzzled from the ice maiden’s nether regions.

The stunned spoon-bender marched out, Uri is a deeply religious man.

Bosses tried to persuade him to go back into the show, which has another two weeks to run, but he refused.

Producers claimed he left in the early hours of yesterday because he thought “someone was tampering with his personal possessions”. But a show source disclosed that the statues were the real reason.

The insider said: “It was too much for him. He found it degrading and disgusting.

“It’s caused a major headache for everyone.”

“Uri Geller gave an absolutely resonating talk on his life and career. He had every single magician in the room on the edge of their seats trying to digest as much information as they could. Uri emphasized that the path to frame is through uniqueness and charisma and that professional entertainers must be creative in their pursuits of success and never shy away from publicity.”

The nails are real, the keys are really borrowed, the envelopes are actually sealed, there are no stooges, there are no secret radio devices and there are no props from the magic catalogues.”

James Randi (In an open letter to Abracadabra Magazine)

“Absolutely amazing”
