Mystic Meg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mystic Meg (born Margaret Anne Lake on July 27, 1942 in Accrington, Lancashire)[1] is a British astrologer and psychic who has regular astrology columns in the News of the World[2] and The Sun[3]. She came to greater public notoriety when she hosted what became a regular item on the first broadcast of the National Lottery draw in 1994. Her image also appears on various astrology-related books and merchandise. She studied English at the University of Leeds.
Comedian Brian Conley based one of his sketch characters Septic Peg on Mystic Meg[4]. Peg was famous for her gormless face pulling. Mystic Meg appeared alongside Septic Peg for Conley's live show "Alive and Dangerous".
In the first edition of the News of the World for each year, Mystic Meg traditionally makes predictions for the coming twelve months. These predictions can range from the sensible, to the outright absurd,[5] and are often similar from year-to-year.
She also owns a number of racehorses[6] under the company name Mystic Meg Limited, which is based in Bedford[7]. The horses include Astrodonna[8], Astronangel[9], and Astronova[10] and other horses with celestial names.
