Mr Juncker said such a brutal move would ensure the survival of the EU.
The Eurocrat also warned Prime Minister Theresa May she would have no option but to accept the EU’s demands once talks begin in the summer.
Asked by German newspaper Bild whether he was worried Britain was just the first nation to quit the troubled bloc, Mr Juncker replied: “No. Britain’s example will make everyone realise that it’s not worth leaving.”
He added: “On the contrary, the remaining member states will fall in love with each other again and renew their vows with the European Union.”
The Eurocrat went on to say Britain would have to get used to life outside the EU.
He said: “Half memberships and cherry-picking aren’t possible. In Europe you eat what’s on the table or you don’t sit at the table.”
