Susan Boyle has spoken for the first time about the pressures of fame

Susan Boyle says sudden fame hit her like a “giant demolition ball.”

The Scottish singing sensation told US television that adjusting to her overnight celebrity has been difficult.

Her first appearance on Britain’s Got Talent earlier this year had millions of YouTube hits.

After coming second in the TV competition, the former church volunteer was hospitalised for exhaustion.

When asked if she felt overwhelmed by fame, Boyle said on NBC’s Today show: “It’s a lot like a giant demolition ball.”

Boyle said she had to wrap her head around the experience, but is glad for the opportunity to have a professional singing career.

Her interview on the NBC morning show was recorded in London last week.
