Britain’s Got Talent blocks Susan Boyle
Susan Boyle Biggest star on planet
Susan Boyle turned down the opportunity to meet President Barack Obama because of the rules of Britain’s Got Talent, claims a spokesperson for the show.
The 48-year-old contestant was reportedly invited to attend the White House Correspondent’s Dinner on Saturday night after Obama became a fan of her singing audition.
Speaking to Access Hollywood, the representative claimed that Boyle “was invited by numerous networks… to be a guest at the event” but that the programme’s rulebook prevented it happening.
“None of the acts are allowed to go [overseas] for any events until the show is over so we had to decline on her behalf,” the spokesperson said.
Celebrities in attendance at the $200-a-ticket event included Katie Holmes, Tom Cruise, Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, Steven Spielberg and Eva Longoria.
