Britain's Got Talent singer Susan Boyle has been admitted to the Priory clinic following her shock defeat in the show's final.
The Scottish singing sensation was rushed to the private clinic on Sunday night after Talent staff contacted police to say she was acting strangely at her London hotel.
Officers were called to assist and Boyle was allegedly taken by ambulance to the Priory in Southgate, north London, escorted by police.
A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said: "Police were called at approximately 6pm to a central London hotel to doctors assessing a woman under the Mental Health Act.
"Police and ambulance attended.
"The woman was taken voluntarily by ambulance to a clinic. At the request of doctors, police accompanied the ambulance."
On Sunday, it emerged that Boyle was taking time off on doctor's advice after losing to dance act Diversity in the ITV talent show.
Television company talkbackThames has released a statement offering her "ongoing support" amid newspaper reports that she had run amok backstage after her loss, shouting: "I hate this show."
