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.

    I'm really annoyed at Amanda Holdens comments quote"Amanda Holden says that she won't let Britain's Got Talent's Susan Boyle undergo a makeover" Who the hell does she think she is? She said she did not want her to become a "Glamour Puss" that's some statment coming from the Botox Queen. I wonder if she would be willing to give up her Botox jabs? I think not...... I thought this lady got through becasue of her talent, not her looks, so in the future if she feels she want to inprove her looks it shoudl be down to her not Amanda Holden to decide. I'm really angery that she made these comments in the national press. She'd try anyting to get in the papers, even at the expence of other................Shut up Amanda

    I think the poor woman should have the makeover as her success and new look might finally help her to get the partner she deserves.
