Simon Cowell reckons the hype surrounding Susan Boyle could ruin her chances of winning Britain's Got Talent.

‘The problem is with all the sub-stories about the cat and how she looks,’ Simon, 49, tells the Sunday People.

‘I'm tired of hearing about the way she looks or the kissing, or this or that. Susan mustn't become a gimmick.’

Piers Morgan is also concerned with the press attention devoted to Susan, 48.

‘The phenomenon has got so insane I’ve got a horrible feeling that when I die the headlines are now going to read, “Judge in Susan Boyle video dies”,’ he tells The Sun.

Meanwhile, footage has emerged of Susan auditioning for Michael Barrymore’s ITV show My Kind Of People in 1995.
