They claim Sally, 74, dubbed Britain’s best-loved psychic, has trademarked Psychic Sally, Psychic Sal and Sally Psychic.
But mum-of-three Sally, 54, told The Sun last night: “To be honest, I didn’t see this coming.
“My name is Sally. It has been since birth. I didn’t borrow it, steal it, trademark it, or contact Sally Morgan for permission.”
She said her family had been doing readings for four generations and jokingly blamed her mum for her name, saying if she had foreseen it “perhaps she would have chosen Janet”.
She calls herself Psychic Medium Sally Cudmore and uses the handle @psychicsal100 on TikTok.
She said: “How can anyone confuse me with Sally Morgan?
“She is years older than me and looks nothing like me.”
Sally Morgan’s lawyers want her to stop using names such as Psychic Sally, Psychic Sal or similar and make a public statement over the confusion.
And her spokeswoman said: “She is acting in the best interest of her loyal followers to prevent further confusion caused by Sally Cudmore. She is protecting her professional name.”
Away from the big screen, Kirkland was named one of Andy Warhol’s 13 Most Beautiful Women in 1964.
She made history in 1968 by becoming the first woman to appear fully naked in the off-Broadway production, Sweet Eros.
