A psychic seal from Cornwall has gone viral after predicting the results of the Euros.

The Cornish Seal Sanctuary, in Gweek, says Banana has been trained to make predictions by selecting flags and she gets it right around 50% of the time.

She is becoming an internet sensation, with her latest video getting around one million views on TikTok.

And Banana predicted that England will beat Germany when they face each other in the knockout stage this evening {Tuesday 29th June).

You can watch her make her selection on who she thinks will reach the quarter finals below...

"She has been trained to target her stations, so we've been sitting the flag on her station markers and asking her to choose which flag she wants.

"She has got a 50 percent success rate, so she's right 50 percent of the time."

We'll have to wait and see whether Banana gets it right.

The game kicks off at 5pm this evening.
