NUTTY conspiracy theorists have claimed celebrities with black left eyes are marking themselves out as members of the ILLUMINATI.

Actors, musicians, politicians, and even the Pope have all been snapped with shiners recently - sparking claims they are members of a secret society.

Conspiracy theorists claim Illuminati recruits are forced to 'eat pain' during high-level initiation rituals.

They claim bruised left eyes - known as 'Illuminati shiners' are marks given to those who have scaled their way to the top of the sinister organisation.

Radio host Sherry Shriner - who wrote 'Interview With The Devil' - said: "You cannot be on TV now, without signing on the dotted line.

"The bizarre recurrence of facial bruises on Illuminati politicians and entertainers has resulted in speculation that their souls have been replaced in a satanic ritual called 'soul scalping'".

Shriner, who died last year, claimed all of the world's leaders have been soul-scalped.

She also claimed to have been able to speak to the devil.

Among the celebs to have sported black eyes over the years are Adam Sandler, Prince Philip, George W Bush, and Liz Hurley.

Prince Andrew showed off one in 2017, while Prince Phillip reportedly "woke up" with one one morning in 2013.

Gossip columnist Perez Hilton claimed a black eye was given to him by Polo Molina - the manager of the Black-Eyed Peas.

Pope Francis had a bad eye cut last year, which he attributed to an accident in the 'Pope-mobile'.

And George W Bush claimed he had been hit in the face by a microphone stand during a speech.
