Boyle 'gives John & Edward advice'

Susan Boyle has reportedly advised John & Edward on how to deal with their sudden fame.

The Daily Mail claims that the Britain's Got Talent runner-up told the twins how to deal with all the attention when she met them at the X Factor studios.

"She spoke to them about her experiences and especially how to cope afterwards," a source said. "She also talked to them about some of the bullying comments she got from people before the final about her appearance.

"People have said John and Edward are a freak show, which is what they were saying about Susan. She said it was important that they had ways of dealing with the criticism."

Boyle has reportedly already recorded her X Factor appearance, which will be broadcast on the results show tonight at 8pm on ITV1.
