Susan Boyle Loses Temper

Britain's Got Talent judge Piers Morgan has been asking the media and fans to back off after contestant Susan Boyle lost her temper with two strangers who had apparently been winding her up in a west London hotel. Police stationed at the hotel intervened in the situation. Susan, 48, was photographed talking to two police officers in the car park following the incident.

A spokesman for Boyle said: "The police were escorting a journalist from the premises who had been winding Susan up. Susan and her sister were talking to the police telling them what had happened." Morgan told a London radio station that the singer had been in floods of tears this week because of the pressure of competing but that the hotel incident had been massively exaggerated.
