TV icon Mystic Meg shot to fame delivering winning predictions for the National Lottery each week from 1994 until 2000.
Her illustrious career came to an end this week as it's been confirmed the TV personality has died aged 80.
Meg became 'Britain's most famous astrologer by a million miles’ according to her agent of 34 years Dave Shapland, who confirmed the news of her passing.
The psychic reader became the go-to person for predictions after she was roped in to predict facts about the future winner of the National Lottery.
Her winning predictions were called upon each week for Lottery hopefuls watching the BBC programme from 1994 until 2000.
However it wasn't always BBC predictions for Mystic Meg, who's real name is Margaret Lake. She initially started out doing readings on psychic hotlines in the 1980s before moving into TV work.
After hitting her big break with the National Lottery, more fame followed for the star who also landed herself a column with a national newspaper.
Writing came naturally to Meg who has previously said she predicted her big break.
Speaking to The New Statesman, Meg told the Racing Post how she would draw arune each day to get a psychic message for the day ahead. On one day, she said: "Just before the Lottery started, I got the big money rune.
"On that same day, I got a call from National Lottery Live, asking me to make a prediction on the first show.
"So the runes were right, though the big money was for other people! The prediction I made came true, so I was asked back."
Meg became a regular fixture on the BBC's Saturday night Lottery show, where she would have a 45-second segment offering a prediction on which balls and numbers would be drawn from the lottery.
Speaking fondly of her time on the programme, she reminisced: "My most vivid memory of the Lottery is when I was doing my prediction to camera, and out of the corner of my eye I saw a naked man running towards me.
"The security guard caught him inches before he got in front of the camera. Painted on his back were the words, 'Pick my balls'."
Meg's agent David Shapland described the star, who he worked with for over three decades: "Nobody came close to Meg in that respect. She was followed by millions in this country and also around the world.
"She even became part of the English language – if a politician, somebody from showbiz or ordinary people in the street are asked a tricky question they will say ‘Who do you think I am, Mystic Meg?
"It shows what an impact she made."
