Susan Boyle for I’m A Celebrity?

Sue Son and Susan Boyle

Oh, it had to happen sooner or later… Britain’s Got Talent hero Susan Boyle is now, wait for it, rumoured to appear on ITV1’s other top reality show, I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

“Susan would be TV gold if she went into the jungle,” said a source. Hmmm, judging by her stilted TV interviews, we’re not sure that’s true, actually, but carry on. “She's the biggest celebrity of the year so far. I don't think there's anyone in the country who doesn't know who she is.”

Added the excited insider: “Having her in the jungle would be a massive boost, not to mention helping us to attract audiences from around the world. Susan has a great sense of humour… There's such a fascination in what she's like and how she acts that I think not only would she do well, but she could actually win.”

Hold your horses – she hasn’t even won Britain’s Got Talent yet! Meanwhile, in some slightly more down-to-earth news, it seems Sue Son, the ace violinist who was asked by the judges – rather unfairly, we thought – to ditch her keyboardist friend Janine Khalil and go solo, has caused a real rift.

"She's taken me off her Facebook friends,” said the 23-year-old. “I think Janine was upset I didn't tell her before that I was going back for a second chance. Instead of seeing her first, and telling her, I had to do it on the phone. I realised from my other friends she was really hurt."

She added: "I got some great compliments from the judges. But at the end of the day I lost my best friend."

Oh dear. Maybe she could go on I’m A Celebrity too as penance…
