England’s first World Cup game was not left up to chance as Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby introduced a new member of the team.
Marcus the Mystic Pig was brought on to the show to determine whether England would win their first game of this year’s World Cup.
Marcus was left to choose an apple which had matchstick flags in them.
Much to the hosts’ surprise, Marcus chose England, who went on to win their first game with Tunisia.
He went on to correctly predict the result of England’s matches against Panama, Belgium, and Colombia.
Earlier today, Marcus returned once again to announce the results of the upcoming England and Sweden game which is taking place on Saturday.
Tensions rose throughout the studio as Rylan Clark-Neal and Amanda Holden began getting nervous about the announcement.
Rylan announced: “We are all on tenterhooks at the moment.
“I am literally gripping my chair.”
As Marcus’ owner let him loose, Marcus looked unsure.
But after a moment of hesitation, Marcus went straight for England’s apple.
Rylan and Amanda went ballistic, both leaping off their chairs into celebration.
Rylan screamed: “Yes you beauty of a pig!”
Amanda added: “That’ll do pig.”
The presenters thanked Marcus for his time and continued to praise his powers.
Viewers of the show began furiously tweeting praise at Marcus, with one saying: “I love Mystic Marcus! He's gorgeous #FriendsNotFood #ThisMorning.”
Another wrote: “Marcus the pig has spoken once again...ENGLAND WIN TOMORROW! @thismorning #ThisMorning #EnglandvSweden.”
“Marcus the mystic pig predicted England winning against Sweden, it’s coming home #ThisMorning,” said a third.
Has Marcus predicted football coming home?
