A PSYCHIC pig correctly predicted Boris Johnson would resign as Prime Minister on today's Lorraine.
Minutes before it was confirmed the PM would be stepping down from his post, Mystic Marcus, who was in a pen on a farm, shuffled his way to a board reading "go" as opposed to one reading "stay" in the opposite corner.
Back in the studio, Lorraine said: "You might think that's quite silly, but pigs are very intelligent, I think you'll find."
Later in the episode, the show was cut off with little warning during an interview with JLS star Aston Merrygold.
