Britain’s Got Talent is facing some serious backlash with Susan Boyle still holed up in The Priory rehab clinic.
Critics are placing the blame on the producers of the show for SuBo’s “emotional breakdown” that proceeder her loss on Saturday!
Boyle, who suffers from “learning difficulties,” was also suffering from growing anxiety as the finals drew closer. The naysayers claim that the producers and ITV went against section eight of the broadcasting code in the UK, which clearly states: “People in a state of distress should not be put under pressure to take part in a programme or provide interviews, unless it is warranted.”
Spokespeople for the talent program are looking into the claim and are taking it very seriously, they say.
“It is a very different scenario. But because of the level of media attention and the speed with which it became a global phenomenon, we will be reviewing all of our policies in relation to psychological treatment,” stated Talent producers Talkback Thames.
Boyle is currently taking a much needed rest at the mental health clinic in London, where her brother Gerry is positive she will be back on her feet in a few days.
