Mystic Marcus the psychic pig was back on Lorraine on Monday to share his prediction for who will be the next prime minister, as the race for the leadership of the Conservative party heats up.

Following Boris Johnson’s resignation declaration last week, several senior Tory MPs have announced their intention to run and launched campaigns, including Rishi Sunak, Grant Shapps, Jeremy Hunt and Sajid Javid.

Marcus, who lives in Derbyshire with his owner Juliet was back on TV to give his verdict on the candidates and share his opinion on who he thinks will be successful, following his accurate prediction that Mr Johnson would resign last Thursday.

Initially, Juliet told stand-in host Carol Vorderman – who was covering for Lorraine Kelly after she tested positive for Covid – that Marcus had ‘given me no hints’ as to who his favourites were.

She did, however, share the source of his mystic powers, commenting: ‘Marcus is the seventh pig of a seventh pig and apparently if you’re the seventh child of a seventh child, you can have very good mystic powers.’

As Marcus, who is more accurately a boar, was released from his pen to choose the candidate, Carol cried: ‘Release the pig!’

She then narrated his moves as he considered the corresponding apples beneath each candidate’s name.

‘He’s looking serious. He’s not happy about this selection of candidates. Oh, he’s making a charge, he’s making a charge, and who is he choosing? We have the all the cards there with the names. Who is he snuffling?’

As the camera revealed the name of the MP above, she continued: ‘He’s going for Suella Braverman! Well, what a revelation, no one would have put money on that, I’m straight off to the bookies.’

However, he seemed to suggest there was a chance for Penny Mordaunt (Picture: ITV)

She then added: ‘Oh, he’s having a little nibble at Penny Mordaunt as well.

‘Maybe he just likes the girls?’

The MP for Fareham since 2015, Ms Braverman is also the current attorney general and was among the first to announce her intention.

Penny Mordaunt is Portsmouth North MP and international trade minister. 

Last Thursday, the show was taken off air in favour of a news bulletin as news of Mr Johnson’s resignation came in, before This Morning continued, somewhat randomly, with its ‘forestival’ show and Loose Women was cancelled altogether.

Lorraine airs weekly at 9am on ITV.
