Susan Boyle admitted to hospital

We knew this was coming. Susan Boyle, who became an Internet sensation after clips of her audition on Britain’s Got Talent hit YouTube, has suffered an emotional breakdown.

Wenn.com says the Scottish singer was rushed to a hospital on Sunday after the finale of the show, in which she placed second to a dance troupe.

Aides called for an ambulance after Boyle had an "emotional breakdown." She reportedly was acting strangely at her London hotel.

Said sources, "She'd been at the hotel for a few days, but since Saturday's final had been acting strangely, causing a bit of a stir. The staff were concerned, something wasn't right.

"When the paramedics and police arrived, she agreed to go voluntarily. She didn't make a fuss. The paramedics calmly took her out through the main lobby and into the waiting ambulance. It was all done very calmly. They didn't want to stress or upset her. She didn't look well - she looked lost, not all there."

Boyle is recovering at a north London clinic.

A spokesperson for Britain’s Got Talent said, "Following Saturday'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. We offer her our ongoing support and wish her a speedy recovery."

The Los Angeles Times reports that Boyle has already told reporters what she plans to do next: “I hope to get an album out and I’ll just play it by ear. What a journey. It was unbelievable and very humbling. Thank you for everything.”
