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.

Was out in another room and heard her voice and ran in to see who was singing ine of my favourite songs so beautifully. I was transfixed. She is a beautiful person, never mind how she looks, she is a beautiful person. From M.D.M. Saintfield

Posted by: lizrenouf on Fri Apr 17 12:52PM | Report abuseSusan Boyle is fantastic it's a shame Simon Cowell couldn't be honest and admit that he was laughing at her at the beginning. My very best wishes go to her she is a special lady who deserves to be successful and recieve a lot of TLC.
Posted by: mary_grant.grant on Fri Apr 17 12:53PM | Report abuseA lesson in humility for us all - to all those who laughed and did not give her a chance of following her dream. There will be a whole lot of so called talent who wished they could have enjoyed a moment such as the one we whitnessed - Good luck Susan knock em dead - you certainly have talent. You sung that better than the star in the show and she does it well.
