Susan Boyle considers quitting Britain's Got Talent

Singing sensation Susan Boyle has boiled over as the pressures of her new-found fame got the better of her, her spokesman has said. The Britain's Got Talent finalist lost her temper in the lobby of the Wembley Plaza Hotel in north London after being "wound up" by two strangers. Police stationed at the hotel intervened in the situation. Boyle, 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." The church worker from Blackburn, West Lothian, was propelled into the spotlight last month following her audition for the ITV talent show, singing I Dreamed A Dream from the musical Les Miserables. Boyle went on to become a global internet sensation, scoring millions of hits on video site YouTube and gaining celebrity support including that of Hollywood star Demi Moore. Boyle will compete in the live final on Saturday night for the chance to perform at The Royal Variety Show.
