Ashley Cole's new girlfriend Sarah Purnell is a 'white witch' who believes she can use magic spells to do good, a report has revealed.
The former lapdancer, who is believed to have been dating Cole for the past five weeks, spoke openly about her belief in sorcery in a magazine interview earlier this year, The Mirror claims.
Purnell is quoted as saying: "I'm part white witch - fond of potions and making my mates' dreams come true."
The 23-year-old reportedly told the magazine that she had once helped a friend to reunite with her ex-boyfriend by brewing up a potion containing one of his hairs.
She said: "[It was] the last ingredient I needed for a very saucy spell. I wanted to be a helpful witch."
Purnell today confirmed her relationship with Ashley, who was dumped by wife Cheryl earlier this year.
