Psychic Wayne Update: The pranksters strike again
Poor awl psychic Wayne just can't seem to get a break this week as he's back in the news after another mystery caller had a few things to say to him.
Yesterday we had footage of psychic Wayne getting a little more than he bargained for after an Irish prankster rang into his ‘Psychic Show’ claiming to be Will Smith from the ‘Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’. If you didn’t see the clip yet, then head over here.
Well Wayne is back in the spot light again, but this time the caller wasn’t exactly pranking poor awl psychic Wayne. Instead the caller had a bit of a serious question to ask.
In case you can’t hear the audio too well, we’ve transcribed what goes down in full:
Wayne: “Hi, who’s calling?”
Caller: “It’s John Paul, from Dublin.”
Wayne: “Hi John. How are you today?”
Caller: “I’m good, thank you.”
Wayne: “What’s your question John?”
Caller: “I was just wondering what are the chances of you getting a BAI complaint for false advertising?”
Long awkward pause…
Wayne: “Thank you for your call”.
It looks like Wayne just can’t seem to get a break this week, but in fairness he’s probably enjoying a surge of new viewers as everyone tunes in to see what abuse he gets this time around.
Ah well, it is an occupational hazard.

It was hilarious, the TV highlight of the week. On a serious note though, he is preying on vulnerable people who are lonely and confused. It'll be interesting to see how long TV3 will let it run for. Also interesting to see if any of their daytime programmes will raise it as a topic.

It's hilarious to watch when things go wrong for the presenter, but there are people out there that hang on this blokes every word and that's just not right. It reminds me of when that 'Play TV' lark was on TV3 at stupid o'clock. The answers were ridiculously easy but you still had to jump through hoops to get on the air. I remember hearing in college (think it was on Joe Duff) that someone spent €25 in one night without even getting on air. Crazy! Something should really be done about it. It's not the first time TV3 had a questionable premium pay service featured on their network.
