The famed astrologer known as Mystic Meg, whose true name was Margaret Lake, has reportedly died at the age of 80, according to The Sun newspaper. For almost 23 years, she had been penning horoscope pieces for The Sun.
She was hospitalized for the illness and tragically passed away this morning. Meg was one of the most well-known astrologers in Britain and had millions of followers worldwide.
Meg rose to fame by making weekly appearances on the UK National Lottery, where she made predictions about potential prizes. In 1997, her regular place on the program was eliminated, but the following year, she returned in a sketch with host Bradley Walsh.
Meg worked as an astrologer for the News of the World until it folded, and her forecasts appeared in a number of periodicals in the US and Australia.
Mystic Meg Husband: Was Mystic Meg Married?
Mystic Meg wasn’t married and never got engaged, according to many media stories. According to reports, she was dating Nigel Moores, who passed away in a vehicle accident in France in 1977.
Following the passing of Moores, the wealthiest Littlewoods Pools heir, her agency said that “there was no another man in her life.” This was reported by Daily Express.
Moores was the nephew of Littlewoods’ founder, Sir John Moores, who established the football betting business.
Her representative added, “She gave the image of being a recluse, living alone with her crystal ball and seven cats for company. The truth was that. She was very private by nature.
