A woman claims pop singer Chris De Burgh cured her paralysed arm with his healing hands.

Best-selling author Marisa Mackle told The Sun her horrifically injured limb came back to life after he touched it.

It follows controversial claims by De Burgh earlier this month that he could perform miracles like Jesus.

Mackle almost died after slashing her arm on a pane of glass trying to break into her own home. Despite six hours in surgery, it remained virtually paralysed.

For the next three months, her left arm was completely useless. Then came the amazing night out in late January.

She says: “I was in a restaurant with Chris’s daughter – the former Miss World, Rosanna Davidson – and she noticed I was using one hand to do everything.

“Of course I didn’t want her to think that I had terrible manners so I told her about the accident and that I couldn’t use my left arm. The next thing, she told me her dad Chris was a really good healer.”

At the end of the night De Burgh came in to pick up Rosanna and she told him about her complaint.

The singer sat down beside Mackle and began to place his hands on the scarred area. He told her he was looking for the heat spot and began to concentrate his palms on specific areas.

She said: “I suppose I didn’t really feel any different after the treatment. But then one of the girls called over to me to try it out so I tried to lift a pint glass. And I could – it was just unbelievable.”
