Paul, the German Psychic Octopus from Oberhausen aquarium has 'predicted' eight results correctly at this summer's World Cup finals, is to end his career as a tipster and join our radio show.
The octopus has been making 'predictions' for the outcome of World Cup games by taking a mussel from one of the plastic boxes in his tank emblazoned with the competing team's flags.
Now he will be tasked with predicting world events on a week by week basis, or at least until we get tired of it.
