Simon Cowell, one of the judges on Britain’s Got Talent, has openly apologized to British singer Susan Boyle for misjudging her based on her appearance. Speaking on an American talk show, Cowell admitted his mistake, saying, “I am very sorry. I’ll be the first to acknowledge that I underestimated Susan Boyle because of how she looked and carried herself on stage. I made a fool of myself in front of 200 million people. I am truly sorry. I’ve learned my lesson.”

When Susan Boyle stepped onto the stage for her Britain’s Got Talent audition, Cowell was doubtful about the abilities of the 47-year-old, who was unemployed and single at the time. However, the moment she began singing I Dreamed a Dream, he—and the entire audience—was left in awe. Her breathtaking performance quickly became a viral sensation on YouTube, moving millions to tears.
Since rising to global fame and becoming an inspiration to many, Susan Boyle has undergone a remarkable transformation. She once admitted feeling embarrassed when rewatching her Britain’s Got Talent audition.
With a visit to the salon, improved skincare, and a refined sense of style, Susan started paying more attention to her appearance. Now living the life of a true celebrity, she receives fan letters, is recognized on the streets, and is constantly followed by paparazzi.
Just last weekend, Susan was spotted confidently posing outside her home, warmly engaging with photographers—unaware that her trouser zipper had slightly slipped.
Despite the emergence of many young and talented contestants on Britain’s Got Talent, Susan Boyle remains a beloved figure, with audiences still cherishing the 47-year-old singer from Blackburn, West Lothian.
