The astrologer Mystic Meg - who became a household name in the 1990s on the National Lottery - had died. The 80-year-old, whose real name was Margaret Lake, died following a short illness.
She rose to fame on the National Lottery after it launched in November 1994 and had written horoscopes for the Sun for close to 23 years. Her agent paid tribute to her this morning (March 9).
Dave Shapland said: "Without any question, she was Britain’s most famous astrologer by a million miles. 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?’."
