Susan Boyle 'taunted by train passengers'

Susan Boyle was driven to tears after a group of fellow train passengers mocked and taunted the singer, according to sources.

Boyle, who was sitting alone on her 30-minute journey home from Edinburgh to Blackburn, West Lothian on Sunday afternoon, rounded on commuters who began laughing at her, reports The Sun.

She reportedly said: "I'm normally patient but I am about to greet, greet, greet. I don't normally get angry with people. I'm ashamed of you all - shut up. I'm warning you, it's not funny. You wouldn't like it."

An onlooker revealed that a tearful Boyle was visibly upset as the taunts continued.

They said: "Susan was minding her own business on the train. Some people were taking pictures. There were people laughing at her - it was not nice. People noticed she was sobbing. Something was upsetting her.

"She then turned to the people sitting opposite her and told them off. Susan certainly put them in their place - and good for her. It can't be easy dealing with the fame she has but she handled it well."
