The star, whose real name was Margaret Lake, died on Thursday morning
The famous astrologer Mystic Meg has died at the age of 80, it has been confirmed. The star, whose real name was Margaret Lake, was admitted to St Mary’s Hospital, Paddington in London last month while suffering from flu.
"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."
Piers Morgan is among those to have paid tribute, having worked with Lake while he was at News of the World. "Mystic Meg was Britain’s most famous astrologer and a fascinatingly mysterious lady who loved her work with a passion but was rarely seen or heard in public," the former Good Morning Britain host said.
