Boyle simply exhausted, insists Holden

Susan Boyle has “no underlying mental issues” and is simply exhausted, Amanda Holden insisted today, as questions were raised about the care given to contestants on 'Britain’s Got Talent'.

The 48-year-old, from Blackburn, west Lothian, has been recovering at the Priory clinic in north London after suffering what her brother described as an “anxiety attack” in the wake of her surprise defeat in the Britain’s Got Talent final.
