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.
