Piers Morgan spinning in Susan Boyle case!

Piers Morgan is a cheeky tabloid spinner. He can't help himself. His latest spinning session is going on TV to say that all contestants get the help they require from a team of pyschologists.

However, it emerged last night that Boyle – who has learning difficulties after being starved of oxygen at birth – had not been psychologically tested by producers before she was allowed on to the show, although psychologists were available to contestants who needed them. The production company, TalkbackThames, said it would now review its policies. A spokeswoman said, "It is a talent show at the end of the day and people are auditioning on their talent merits. There is no formal psychological testing at the beginning of the show. Compared with something like Big Brother, where you are looking at people going into a house for three months, the people on Britain's Got Talent have three or four performances maximum and spend only seven to 10 days in a hotel for the semi-finals and final. It is a very different scenario." She added, "But because of the level of media attention and the speed with which this has become a global phenomenon, we will be reviewing all of our policies and in relation to psychological assessment."

So how come Piers Morgan is giving the impression that everything was OK and is OK? He suggests that Susan was in agreement with everything although being "physically and mentally drained". Perhaps they see their "investment" under pressure? A psychiatrist at The Priory, where Susan Boyle now is, is none too satisfied with the arrangements. Let's hope she makes a speedy recovery and is not exploited in her desire to sing professionally.
