Age: 60.
Appearance: Both bubbly and down to earth, according to her website.
I'm getting a picture of a hot-air balloon straining against its mooring ropes. Very funny.
And yet I know that Sally is in fact a famous psychic who met her first ghost at the age of four. I've seen her on stage, I've bought her books and DVDs, I read her column in the Mirror AND I use her premium-rate lines. They're a bargain at £91.80 an hour. Really?
Absolutely. I now know that Grandad loved me and has gone to a much better place. But I still have so many questions to ask him. Such as?
Does Jesus really sit on God's right hand? Isn't it damp among all those clouds? Should I buy an iPad 2, or will Apple be refreshing its product line ahead of Christmas? That last one's really for Steve Jobs, of course. This may come as a shock, but there's some doubt over whether "Psychic Sally" really can talk to the dead. Last month, some audience members in Dublin got the distinct impression that a living human was using a radio link to supply Morgan with insights into their lives. Some had paid €40 for their tickets. Morgan denies the allegation, and has threatened to sue over it, but today a Liverpool-based group of sceptics, led by the science writer Simon Singh, is offering her the chance to demonstrate her powers without going to court
By raising John Lennon? Perhaps to ask him if he has any relationship advice for Paul McCartney? By attempting to match the pictures of 10 dead women to a list of their names. The test was thought up by Professor Chris French, head of the anomalistic psychology research unit at Goldsmiths College London, and will be hosted by the Mersyside Skeptics Society. So far, though, there's no sign that Morgan is going to turn up.
Any chance she might have a last-minute change of mind? How should I know? I'm not psychic.
Do say: "I'm getting a message from the other side …"
Don't say: "… Have you recently lost someone called Testingtesting Onetwothree?"
Update: On 20 June 2013 Sally Morgan successfully settled her libel action against publishers of the Daily Mail, who withdrew the suggestion that she used a secret earpiece at her Dublin show in September 2011 to receive messages from off-stage, thereby cheating her audience, and accepted that the allegation is untrue. Her statement can be found here.
