Susan Boyle Set to Quit Britains Got Talent
Singing sensation Susan Boyle has been threatening to quit the show which has made her name this week, but she may get the axe before she has the chance to quit, as she is cracking up under the pressure of ‘fame’
The Scottish ‘Hairy Angel” has alarmed bosses with her increasingly erratic behavior, including swearing at police officers in full view of the paparazzi. An insider at Britain’s Got Talent said: “The last thing producers want is a meltdown on national TV. It’s been made clear that if she’s not right mentally, she won’t appear in the final.“
The troubled star has been given a secret bolt-hole as bosses whisked her away from the limelights glare. Friends of the star are now worried she maybe suffering a breakdown or be axed from tomorrow nights final. Due to her erratic behaviour, she was driven away from the Wembley Plaza Hotel in London yesterday to be taken to a hideaway.
A show source has said: “Show bosses told us they would put her into hiding to get Susan’s mind right because there are genuine concerns about her health. She desperately needs breathing space. The idea is to get into a place where her privacy is better managed than at a hotel. She’ll be totally shielded from people other than her closest advisers.“
The singer, whose first performance in the Britains Got Talent Auditions has had 286 million hits on YouTube – has lived a sheltered life in the village of Blackburn, West Lothian.
On Wednesday afternoon she packed her bags at the hotel and threatened to QUIT the show because the pressure of her new-found fame was getting on-top of her, but she was persuaded to carry on. Yesterday, London’s Metropolitan Police interviewed the star over a tearful tantrum at the hotel in which she swore at officers claiming two strangers tried to “wind her up.”
Hours earlier, she screamed “Fuck Off” and flicked a V-sign at the TV in the hotel bar as she watched Piers Morgan tell Shaheem Jafargholi, 12, he had given the “best singing performance so far“. Last night Piers told news camera’s “Yesterday she was actually going to leave the show, packed her bags to go because she couldn’t see the point in carrying on. Susan is finding it very difficult to cope, and stay calm. She has been in tears many times during the last few days, and even felt like quitting altogether and fleeing all the attention. “
He added: “Susan Boyle is a very kind, generous-hearted, lady who has had a pretty tough life. But she’s always, according to people who knew her well, been a fun-loving woman who would do anything to help others. I’m not saying she’s a saint. But I am saying that before all this fuss, Susan was generally considered to be a genuinely lovely person – albeit, one with a lively, feisty character, and a wonderfully eccentric sense of humour.“
Susan’s family believe show bosses should have acted sooner. Brother John, 59, said: “She has been constantly hounded by fans for the past seven weeks. Like anyone she has a breaking point – she is only human after all. If I were in Simon Cowell’s shoes I would tell Susan she wouldn’t be allowed on the show unless she got her act together. Celebrities have professional people who insulate them from these stresses but she hasn’t had this protection. The shows producers should have been looking after her more.“
Susan is dubbed Rambo in her home town because of her fiery temper, but John insisted the abuse she gave police was out of character. He said: “Susan used to get picked on and bullied when she was younger. She never reacted. This is a completely one-off incident and won’t affect Susan in the slightest.“
In my opinion, (and only my opinion), i seriously think she is VERY over-rated. I hope she quits personally, but i doubt that will happen!!
