I ignored this particular report. Part of me thinks that newspapers are always looking for a story. I mean, I’ve sung into everything from hairbrushes to empty toilet rolls. It doesn’t mean that I’m “Boyling Over” – it just means that I am fun loving and a little eccentric – perhaps a bit like Susan, except without the voice.

Susan’s spokesperson said of the incident:”Susan was being playful. She was with her management and was just excited about going to Chicago.” And that is a good enough explanation for me.

However, today I have read another report, this time in the Daily Mail, where a source says that Susan is being pulled in different directions by her managers and accountants who include, according to The Mail, Andy Stephens who used to work with George Michael, Ossie Kilkenny, formerly U2′s accountant and one of her nieces, Kirsty.

The source said to the paper: “No wonder Susan may be a bit frazzled – it’s all a bit too much to take in.”

Apparently there was an incident prior to the one in the airport. Susan went to the Mill Cafe on Monday, a cafe that is situated close to Susan’s Blackburn home.

One staff member – who asked not to be named – reportedly said that Susan was swearing when she walked in, complaining about her niece who had told her she needs to go on a diet.

Well – when my husband tells me to go on a diet, I swear at him! We all love Susan as she is, so nobody needs to be stressing her out by telling her what to eat.

I just think somebody should make sure Susan is happy with everything that is planned for her. She has had an amazing year, but all this travel, to Japan and then the US, well, it would take it out of anyone, wouldn’t it? Then being told to go on a diet. Well, I think you’d be hearing a few obscenities from me too!

So no, I think Susan is in good health and fine form. I do however hope that she is being properly looked after and not being unecessarily stressed by too much travel, tactless remarks or the pressure of too many appearances. Susan’s voice is a gift from God and should be nurtured and cherished, as should Susan.

Simon Cowell told the Daily Mail: “Looking back on it all, it has become clear to me that we didn’t handle the situation with Susan as well as we could have.

“Yet, to be honest, I don’t know that I could have done it any differently.”

He added that he had met Susan Boyle’s family last week and he asked them whether she should have been allowed to continue competing in the Britain’s Got Talent competition when it was apparent how stressed she was becoming.

He said that the family had all agreed she should be allowed to continue, confirming that she had always wanted to sing.

Cowell admitted that he had not expected Boyle to become “the most famous woman in the world” when she first auditioned.

Although her audition was good, Simon said that she came over “well but not sensationally”. Nevertheless, the Youtube footage of her audition became an internet sensation, and gained Susan celebrity fans in the UK and US.

Cowell said that initially Susan Boyle “seemed fine with all the attention” and she told him that she was having the time of her life.

As the final approached Susan was nervous but “seemed fine” and had any help she needed, including the support of her close friend. Simon said that she did not to him appear to be more nervous than Paul Potts was before his final two years earlier. “She understood the significance of the night,” he said.

After the result was announced, and Susan was not the winner of the viewer phone in poll, Simon Cowell commented: “I suddenly realised she didn’t know how to cope with losing. We didn’t handle it well.”

He added: “Then, at the crucial point in the final, I looked at her face and thought, ‘Christ, she doesn’t know how to deal with not winning’.

“It was a bad moment.

Afterwards, I went over and gave her a hug and tried to reassure her.

“I said, ‘Susan, my offer to record an album with you still stands’. We agreed we would work together – that it wasn’t the end of the road.”

Afterwards Simon he admitted he felt a little uncomfortable, and the rest is history. As far as the tour goes, it is up to Susan whether or not she feels able to perform. When she has been able to perform, her performances have been amazingly well received.

As far as Susan Boyle’s fans are concerned (and I know, because they write to me), they just want Susan to be well. They think she should rest as much as she needs to and not be worried about the tour. The last thing that they would want is for her to feel that she is letting any body down. They are all looking forward to her bringing out a CD so they can listen to her at home.

The report indicates that Susan was again feeling stressed because she has spent too long apart from Pebbles, her cat, although Susan’s spokeswoman denied this to say that Susan was “just tired”.

It has already been stated that Susan would have sporadic rest days during the tour, so I don’t think that we need to sensationalise this into something that it isn’t.

One of the shows producers said: “It’s a shame for fans but her health comes first.”

Pebbles is very lucky to have such a devoted owner in my view.

She has spent weeks rehearsing her song for the final and will be performing tomorrow.

In a written statement, she said: “I want nothing more than to stay and sing in the Britain’s Got Talent final.

“I’ve spent weeks rehearsing – it’s all I’ve been thinking about. I’m not going to throw away my big chance now.”

A spokeswoman for Britain’s Got Talent has confirmed that Susan will perform, despite her having her bags packed to leave earlier in the week.

She said that: “Susan Boyle is still very much part of the Britain’s Got Talent. She is looking forward to the Grand Final and she is rehearsing hard to prepare for the biggest night of her life.

“She, like all of our contestants, is being closely looked after by programme makers.

“Susan’s personal welfare is very important to us, and we will continue to do everything we can to make sure she remains happy and well.

“She just wants to focus on her performance, and the well-being of our contestants is our number one priority.”

As mentioned previously, Susan is now in a secret location where she can prepare herself mentally and vocally, without being hassled or pestered by the media or over intrusive fans.

I know that I and the vast majority of readers of this site send Susan Boyle all our best wishes for tomorrow’s final.

In an interview with the Edinburgh Evening News, Susan’s brother John Boyle said:? “She has been constantly hounded by fans for the past seven weeks. Like anyone she has a breaking point ? she is only human after all.

“Celebrities have professional people who insulate them from these stresses but she hasn’t had this protection.”

John criticised the Britain’s Got Talent chiefs for not doing more to look after Ms Boyle and protect her.

However, a spokesman from Britain’s Got Talent told the Press Association that Susan was receiving the support she needed from the show’s producers.

Another of Susan’s brothers, Gerry Boyle, said that Susan was coping well with the pressure under the circumstances. He said: “Susan is under tremendous strain, but she seems to be coping. She would be inhuman not to be nervous.

“She realises she’s a contestant in an open competition.

“She’s slightly bemused that people think it’s a Susan Boyle show. Her background teaches her not to think that, although she desperately wants to win and have a career around it.”

Currently the following acts have secured places in the final: Susan Boyle, Diversity, Flawless, Shaheen Jafargholi, Two Grand, Julian Smith, Shaun Smith and Stavros Flatley. Tonight’s semi final features young singer Hollie Steel, talented dancer Aidan Davis and? male soprano Greg Pritchard amongst others, all hoping for a place in tomorrow’s final.

Susan Boyle’s publicist states that Ms Boyle only swore at a paparazzo after having been deliberately provoked by him, according to a report in The Times.

According to The Sun, police stationed at the hotel approached Ms Boyle and asked if there was a problem, to which Susan Boyle allegedly responded: “Of course there’s a f**king problem.”

?A journalist from a tabloid paper provoked her, the police just happened to be at the hotel and escorted said journalist out after making sure Susan was OK,? said Ms Boyle’s publicist.

Susan was later seen crying outside the hotel.

Meanwhile, Piers Morgan has sprung to Susan’s defence, writing on his blog saying that the bitching about her that is appearing on various websites is making him “very, very angry”.

He says that “Susan is finding it very, very difficult to cope, and to stay calm.

“She has been in tears many times during the last few days, and even, fleetingly, felt like quitting the show altogether at one point and fleeing all the attention.

“I am calling today for everyone to just give her a break.

“Susan?s just a sweet, middle-aged lady from a Scottish village, who can?t really comprehend the sheer scale of what?s happened to her.

“And far from decrying her, shouldn?t we all be celebrating the amazing journey she has gone on, and the fact that she has done more for the reputation of Britain in the last month than anyone for a very long time.”

Well said, Piers. Click here to read the full text of Pier’s Blog.
