'Talent' star: 'I looked like a garage'

Singer Susan Boyle has complained that she looked overweight on the first episode of the new series of Britain's Got Talent.

The 48-year-old from West Lothian told The Mirror that she was not happy with her appearance when she watched the show in her council home.

Boyle said: "They say that television makes you look fat and it certainly did.

"I looked like a garage. It was mortifying to see and a bit of a shock. I didn't realise I could reduce people to tears and I hope it wasn't because of that."

She added: "I'm proud to be part of the show. It really is a dream come true. Everyone is very nice and it's lovely when all the kids stop me in the street to congratulate me."

Boyle sang Les Miserables number 'I Dreamed A Dream' on the programme, which was watched by an average 10.52 million viewers, the highest of any show on Easter Saturday.
