27/02/2010 - 10:27
The brothers of Britain's Got Talent singer Susan Boyle has said that she is "exhausted" from the pressures of fame and needs "round the clock care".
Speaking to an American magazine John Boyle said his sister "needs to be looked after", while her other brother Gerry added that the 48-year-old was lonely and vulnerable.
"The travelling and the whole fame thing is exhausting," Gerry said. "She still has her anxieties and her loneliness."
His remarks come the week after Boyle - who has achieved global fame since finishing second to Diversity in the 2009 series of the show - fainted at Heathrow Airport.
The Scottish singer had been waiting for a flight to Nice before travelling to the San Remo Film Festival in Italy.
