This Morning presenter Holly Willoughby squealed in delight as Marcus the mystic pig predicted a victory for England in tonight’s semi-final against Croatia.

The eight-year-old black micropig has been a firm favourite with the nation in recent weeks having correctly predicted victory for the Three Lions in all of their World Cup 2018 fixtures so far.

So, ahead of tonight’s big match in Moscow, Willoughby and co-host Phillip Schofield asked Marcus to look into the future and tell us if football really is one step closer to coming home by presenting him with the usual two piles of green apples.

As the hosts back in the studio watched with baited breath, Marcus headed for the pile emblazoned with an England flag.

Willoughby cheered: “It’s coming home! Yes, I love that little piggie!”

Viewers shared her excitement as they were quick to tweet about the latest porky prediction.

One wrote: “Wow Mystic Marcus the psychic pig has picked England again!!! It’s looking hopeful for tonight #thismorning #threelions #itscominghome @thismorning.”

Another said: “I can't believe I was nervous waiting for Marcus the pig's prediction #thismorning #itscominghome.”

A third tweeted: “YESSSS MYSTIC MARCUS. Predicted the correct result every time and gone for an England win tonight! Hope he’s right #ThisMorning.”

Mystic Marcus usually predicts from the studio over in White City but appeared via video link today from his home in Derby.

This Morning airs weekdays from 10.30am on ITV.
