So convinced was Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden that Simon Cowell would try and meddle with Scottish singing sensation Susan Boyle's image, she banned him from giving the 48-year-old a makeover.

"Oh my God, she and I might have to have a little conversation in the next day or so," he tells the Sun. Apparently Simon believed all along that Susan's diamond-in-the rough image was part of her charm and shouldn't be changed.
