Margaret 'Mystic Meg'LAKEOne of Britain's most iconic astrologers Mystic Meg, who shot to fame on the National Lottery, has died at the age of 80, following a short illness.
Margaret's agent Dave Shapland announced the news in a statement, which read: "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?’"
Mystic Meg was born in the Lancashire town of Accrington, where her Romany grandmother taught her astrology.
The astrologer rose to fame as she made regular appearances on the National Lottery from 1994 until 2000.
In an item in the live broadcast, Meg would attempt to predict facts about the future lottery winner.
