Astrologer to the stars Professor Brian Cox has finally come clean about his greatest fib told way back in 1993.

Brian (48) and a Pisces told the world that after a gloomy time under John Major that things could only get better when in fact our world as we know it continues to decline further with more wars, famine, child abuse scandals and horror stories then ever before, and let’s not forget Trump and Farage.

Prof Coxy told The Herald in an exclusive interview that;

“The world is currently teetering on the edge of WW3 and is anything but ‘getting better’, and I feel it’s time to get it off my chest that I made that whole song up just because it scanned well and sounded kind of catchy.

Being a Pisces I’m the kind of person who is impulsive and confident and very complex and so I just went with it but now I’m riddled with regret about what has turned out to be a song that was complete bullshit”

The confession will be a great weight off the floppy fringed fortune teller who’s new tv series ‘Brian Cox – Wonders of my Crystal Ball’ will air on Channel 5 in January.
