Simon Cowell said Susan Boyle was never pushed into appearing on Britain’s Got Talent.

The judge said: “I sat down with her and said, ‘Look, if this is getting too much for you, you don’t have to go into the final. No one’s going to force you, you do whatever you want, whatever suits you’.

“And she looked me in the eye and said, ‘No, I want to win this competition, I want to give it a go’. That was the decision we all made. No one ever put a gun to her head and said, you’ve got to enter the show.”

Cowell also said that he sought the blessing of her family.

Boyle eventually snapped under the pressure of fame, spending several days in a North London rehab clinic.

Susan Boyle’s failure to turn up to rehearsals for the Britain’s Got Talent tour in London has thrown organisers into a flat panic, it was reported today.

The tour is set to open in Birmingham on Friday, but Boyle has so far failed to show for rehearsals, the report said.

Her spokeswoman, however, said she is due at rehearsal today and “she is eager to do the tour”, it was reported.

Meanwhile, BGT judge Simon Cowell has reportedly rented a £2 million apartment for Boyle and her cat, Pebbles, the report claimed.

Cowell, it said, was paying for her to stay in a north London convent for five weeks. The other BGT contestants were staying in hotels.

A source for the tour reportedly said: “No one knows quite what Susan wants to do. We’re leaving everything up to her, to make sure that she’s happy and well. But the problem is that she changes her mind every two minutes.”

Boyle’s new private doctor reportedly recommended an “idyllic and highly secure” lodging at the convent to Cowell.

The report quoted a source saying: “Simon is looking after his prize possession. No expense will be spared to make sure she is happy and well enough to perform.”

Michael Jackson reportedly wants Britain’s Got Talent winners Diversity to join him on stage at his London shows.

The dance troupe beat singer Susan Boyle to claim the prize on the British show – and now Jacko, 50, is reportedly keen to sign them up.

A source said: “Michael has already seen what the boys can do.

“He was captivated with Susan Boyle so he had an interest in the show. But when Diversity came up on the outside rail, he was mesmerised.”

The source added: “Everyone knows Michael’s performances are as much about the dancing as they are his music – and Diversity would only add to the magic.”

The source added: “They are the hottest thing in the country at the moment, and if everything goes well and Michael takes them on, they could be one of the hottest things on the planet.”
