Leona Lewis offers Boyle career advice

Leona Lewis has told Susan Boyle to get a "good support network" if she wants a successful career in the music industry.

The 'Bleeding Love' singer, currently recording the follow-up to her debut album Spirit, described Boyle's Britain's Got Talent audition as "awesome".

"It's good to have a good support network around you and I think that's the main thing - to have people that you can speak to," she told PA.

"I have seen her singing and she sounds awesome so I mean she's really talented and that's all that should speak for herself really."
