Simon Cowell has admitted that the Britain’s Got Talent team could have helped Susan Boyle more during her time on the show.

Simon says that there was a point during the show’s final that he realised Susan had not been at all prepared to lose.

He told The Mirror: “I suddenly realised she didn’t know how to cope with losing. We didn’t handle it well.

“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.”

Susan has not appeared on the Britain’s Got Talent tour for four nights running and spent almost a week in The Priory earlier this month due to exhaustion.
