Susan Boyle: 'I turned down dating show'

Susan Boyle has revealed that she turned down the chance to be set up with a man for a matchmaking reality TV show.

The Scottish singer, who claimed that she had never been kissed when she auditioned for Britain's Got Talent this year, confirmed that she wants to put her career before her love life over the coming months.

Boyle told OK magazine: "There's no time for [a boyfriend] now, I'm far too busy.

"There was a TV company that wanted to set me up with a man. Apparently he was a nice man, but I've got my living to do now. I don't mind being friendly, but no marriage plans as yet."

Last week, it was claimed that Simon Cowell had been forced to step up Boyle's security after she was targeted by a female stalker.

Boyle will be seen performing her debut single 'Wild Horses' on The X Factor this weekend.
