Just moments after finishing a note-perfect performance on live American television, Susan Boyle was seen on television breaking down in tears.

The 48-year-old had been enjoying lunch with fans at the Rock Centre cafe in New York's Rockefeller Centre. But she appeared increasingly withdrawn and started to tremble and suck her thumb. Then, visibly overcome with emotion, she bowed her head and began to sob.

It happened just moments after she was presented with a patchwork quilt knitted together by hundreds of people from 28 countries including the UK, US, Australia, Mexico, Japan and Antarctica.

Perhaps realising she was crying in front of hundred of fans - and the cameras - Susan quickly snapped out of it and performed a lively dance.

A spokesman for Miss Boyle said: 'She was just overjoyed and extremely touched with the reception she had had from everyone in America.'

But the incident, at the end of a whistle-stop promotional tour of the US, has prompted fresh questions about the Scottish singer's ability to cope with her new found celebrity.

It is only months since she was catapulted to stardom on Britain's Got Talent, leading to worldwide fame - and a spell in The Priory.

She checked in to the rehabilitation centre hours after coming second to dance group Diversity on the talent show in May.
