Susan Boyle is on her way home after being escorted out of an airport lounge at Heathrow amid concerns for her wellbeing.

The singer, 55, was waiting for a flight back to Glasgow when she reportedly had a disagreement with staff in the lounge.

A witness told The Sun newspaper: "She looked confused and was shouting 'I've done nothing wrong, I've done nothing wrong.'

"The cops looked pretty concerned as she was all over the place. They eventually took her away."

The Metropolitan Police confirmed the incident and said: "Police were called at around 13:20hrs on Monday, 25 April to a lounge in Terminal 5, Heathrow to reports of a distressed woman.

"Officers attended and spoke with the woman, amid concerns for her health and wellbeing."

Boyle became an overnight sensation after her appearance on Britain's Got Talent where she stunned judges with her rendition of I Dreamed A Dream.

A representative for the star said: "Susan is absolutely fine and is on her way home."
