Amanda Holden says that she won't let Britain's Got Talent's Susan Boyle undergo a makeover.
The talent show judge said that the singer would be 'spoilt' if she was to unveil a glamorous new look.
Amanda told the Daily Mirror: "She needs to stay exactly as she is because that's the reason we love her. She just looks like anybody who could live on your street.
"The minute we turn her into a glamour-puss is when it's spoilt. I think it's the underdog thing. It's somebody who's looked after her mother all her life. She's had real dreams, real aspirations and obviously she thought she'd had to say goodbye to those things."
Susan has become a household name across the world following last Saturday's appearance on the ITV talent show. A video of her performance has been viewed more than 16 million times online, making it one of the most watched internet videos of all time.
The 47-year-old, who has been nicknamed the 'Hairy Angel', has already appeared on several TV shows in the US and Oprah Winfrey is reportedly in talks to speak to her.
Her widespread fame has also led to a range of merchandise going on sale including bumper stickers and T-shirts saying 'I've kissed Susan Boyle'.
Meanwhile, Simon Cowell has told GMTV viewers that Susan is not a dead cert to win this year's Britain's Got Talent. When asked about her overnight success he said: "There are some acts that you haven't seen yet, it's not quite the one horse race you are going to think this is."
He also refused to confirm reports that he will offer her a record deal, whether or not she wins the series, and said it was difficult to say at this stage because he had to treat it as a competition.

Posted by: ivy.p on Fri Apr 17 01:09PM | Report abuseIt should be up to Susan. She had the guts and the talent to appear on a show seen across the world so I'm sure she will have her own opinion on what she does and doesn't want done to her.

She dosent need a makeover but that is her choice entirely, she has a very rare talent, a voice like an angel. Good Luck Susan!!!!!!!
Posted by: jmmarsdenmarsden on Fri Apr 17 01:10PM | Report abuseWhether she has a makeover or not, I hope she does well in the show. Every time I watch the show and hear her sing I get goose bumps. She has a fantastic voice, and deserves to do well. Good luck Susan. If you make it to the final I'll definately be voting for you

Posted by: rogerkitter on Fri Apr 17 01:11PM | Report abuseI think Susan Boyle is great and she has personality. I don't think she should have total make over, but I think they could tidy her up a bit. She is not a glamour girl, but a good hairstyle and the eyebrows sorted would be a great improvement - apart from that she is who she is - a great singer without a doubt. Keep the good work up Susan.
