Susan Boyle could be prevented from singing in the grand final of Britain's Got Talent by concerned show bosses, according to a report.
An insider told The Sun that producers are concerned about the mental state of the 48-year-old and have said that they will not let her sing on live TV if there is a chance that she will crack under the pressure.
The source claimed that executives have been alarmed by her "erratic behaviour", including an incident where Susan allegedly swore at police.
A source said: "The last thing producers want is a meltdown on national TV. It's been made clear that if she's not right mentally, she won't appear in the final."
The show's producers have provided a secret safe-house to give Susan a refuge from the media spotlight and she has reportedly been moved from the Wembley Plaza Hotel to the hideaway.
The insider said: "Show bosses told us to get Susan's mind right because there are genuine concerns about her health. She desperately needs breathing space.
"The idea is to get into a place where her privacy is better managed than at a hotel. She'll be totally shielded from people other than her closest advisors."
Piers Morgan has appealed to the media to "give Susan a break".
He wrote on his official website: "Susan is finding it very difficult to cope, and to stay calm. She has been in tears many times during the last few days, and even felt like quitting altogether and fleeing all the attention."

Don't blame you for the LOL... I see maple syrup and butter in the pic as well.
I understand those pancake painting were done by a former freeper.
They’re afraid she’ll win. They only want pretty people.
If you listen to the Piers video, I think she will be OK to sing tomorrow. But I really really fear for her if she does not win. I am not sure she could cope with that. She will probably have to be rushed offstage and medicated. Poor poor dear. She is sensational but not meant to be an actual sensation.
Susan is a winner regardless.
Yes she is... bless her.
b******t. I don't know how the writer put that down with a straight face.
I think we could put some soccer hooligans to good use here and sic them after the media.
Heck, the producers probably sent the thugs themselves. There is no such thing as bad PR, right?
And from a story I read, she was in a public space watching the other semifinalists on TV - is that a setup or what? Does she not have a TV in her room, or any family watching over her to keep these things from happening?
Susan's far more gracious than that. She seemed almost relieved the Diversity dance troupe got #1. We all know who's really #1. Now she can go and sing in peace.
