Simon Cowell has had some one to one time with Britain’s Got Talent star Susan Boyle this week.

Susan has had a hard week and been attacked from all sides, Cowell thought that a little pep talk may help her rally for tonight’s final.

A show insider told the Daily Star: “Simon turned up to see Susan and made the whole thing very low-key. She was thrilled to see him. He’s been seriously worried about her, especially in the past few days.

“It’s what any boss would do. He just had a cosy chat with her and made her laugh and assured her everything would be fine and that she needed to blot out all the silliness of this week and just focus on her performance. She’s a lot calmer now and she’s told him that she’s definitely going to be on that stage.”

Cowell confirmed: “This is like a soap opera. I have never known anything like this in my whole career. It’s crazy.”
