Amanda Holden says it’s a “blessing” that exhausted Susan Boyle didn’t win Britain’s Got Talent.
The judge, who sits on the hit TV show’s panel alongside Simon Cowell and Piers Morgan, believes that Boyle was lucky to have missed out on the top spot.
The Scottish singing phenomenon – who was pipped to the post by dance act Diversity – has been admitted to hospital after reportedly suffering a nervous breakdown.
She is now said to be resting at London’s Priory Clinic.
Holden said: “It’s taken its toll on her – she’s gone from a woman that nobody knew to worldwide fame. For anybody in the business to handle that kind of stress is an enormous amount of pressure, and I think she probably has just crumbled under it.
“Actually it’s probably a blessing that she didn’t win because the spotlight’s not so heavily on her.
“Perhaps now, she can just relax and enjoy what’s happening to her rather than feel the pressure.”
Health experts have suggested Boyle, who was flung into the global media spotlight after stunning BGT audiences with her vocals, may already have psychological problems.
