Elaine Paige has said that she was “dismayed” to read the remarks attributed to her in the Daily Mail, and she said that the paper’s portrayal of what she said was ?incomplete and misinterpreted completely.?

In her radio program on BBC Radio 2, Elaine added that she is a “huge supporter of Susan Boyle” and admires “what she has achieved”.

Elaine continued that Susan Boyle has “handled the extraordinary situation of being catapulted to worldwide stardom with tremendous strength, charm and dignity”.

She also said: “I thoroughly enjoyed working with her on the ITV special that we recorded together only last month.

“I’ve always said it’s very hard for someone to be fast tracked to stardom without any prior experience, and I know this because it happened to me when Evita opened.

“Today it’s so much harder with the phenomenom of the internet, Facebook and YouTube particularly, it seems that it only takes minutes for fame to spread around the world and that is why I used the word ‘virus’ – obviously a mistake because it was misinterpreted.

“But I wasn’t referring to Susan herself – I was referring to the speed of her fame spreading around the world.

“So Susan, I’ve always said and I continue to say that I support you and I admire you – keep up the good work, girl!”
