Reports suggest that Britain’s Got Talent boss Simon Cowell has snapped up the chance to offer Susan Boyle a recording contract.

Susan may have lost Saturday night’s final to dance troupe Diversity, but she has achieved worldwide notoriety during the audition process and Simon Cowell wants to capitalise on that.

A source told The People: “[Simon] still sees massive potential in Susan and will make her a global superstar. It wouldn’t be surprising if there was a single released before the end of the summer.”
