Sally is waiting for a call
A TV psychic is looking for people to take part in her new show.

Psychic Sally Morgan is bringing her UK tour to Preston on September 28 and is looking for people to take part in a free one-to-one reading for a new programme.

If you have a dilemma and would like to meet Sally for a personal reading then e-mail psychicsally@itv.com or call 0207 157 4147.

Seems like if the producers are requesting names and scheduling appointsments ahead of time, that would give the producers and/or Sally's people a chance to "research" their clients. Such "research" could be handed to Sally and allow for "amazing" readings in front of the camera.

Here's a previous article about her:

Sometimes at dinner parties, Sally Morgan longs to tell people she is an accountant or a botanist anything to stop them practically diving over the table to put her professional skills to the test.

She particularly hates those people "Usually men," she says with a sniff, who seem to want to show her up.

"The minute you tell people you are a psychic, their ears prick up. The men are forever challenging me to tell them something about themselves."

"I hate doing that they are just trying to catch me out."

What would be the point? It is not like the programme would go out live. It would be fun to give one name and then another person go to get the researched reading. Even if this was exposed I can hear the excuses already, Blocking psychic channels etc.

Q. Psychic or Charlatan?
A. Charlatan

"The minute you tell people you are a psychic, their ears prick up. The men are forever challenging me to tell them something about themselves."
Well stop telling people you are psychic then you dozy tart!
If you go around bragging that you are double jointed expect people to ask for a demonstration.
**** off Sally Morgan.
