Susan Boyle Hospitalized After “Britain’s Got Talent” Loss
Scottish singing sensation Susan Boyle suffered an emotional meltdown and had to be hospitalized after this weekend’s stunning upset on the finale of Britain’s Got Talent.
Susan — who became a YouTube sensation after performing a rendition of “I Dreamed A Dream” from the musical Les Miserables on the talent series earlier this year — lost the title to Diversity, a dance troupe from Essex, England.
The church volunteer received only twenty percent of the 4 million audience votes that decided the show’s winner.
According to Britain’s Daily Mail, the 48-year-old was rushed to The Priory – the famed celebrity rehab clinic – because of “exhaustion” following her Talent defeat.
On Sunday, Britain’s Got Talent released a statement saying Boyle had been told by doctors to take a break from her sudden stardom.
“Following Saturday night’s show, Susan is exhausted and emotionally drained. She has been seen by her private GP who supports her decision to take a few days out for rest and recovery,” The Daily Mail reported the statement as saying.
“We offer her our ongoing support and wish her a speedy recovery.”
