Su-Bo rushed to secret location:
Susan Boyle was last night whisked from her busy hotel to a secret and more private location, after BGT show bosses feared she was on the verge of cracking up under the pressure. Su-Bo found herself in the headlines yesterday following an altercation with a policeman at her hotel. She had lost her temper after two strangers started winding her up. Now Britain's Got Talent bosses are concerned that she'll go through with her threat to quit the show. One source reveals, "There are genuine concerns about Susan's health. She desperately needs breathing space." The West Lothian star's brother last night denied claims that Susan is known for her fiery temper, saying, "This is a completely one-off incident and won't affect Susan in the slightest." Demi Moore, who has always been a huge fan of Susan's, last night sent her a heartfelt message on Twitter, which read: "2 the lovely Susan Boyle – Trust that the whole world is rooting 4U whatever the outcome! U have nothing 2 lose just keep sharing your light!" Isn't that nice?

Peter Andre puts on a brave face
Peter Andre couldn't help but smile last night when he was greeted by a huge cheer by hundreds of women. Pete was at London's O2 Arena to attend dance show Here Come The Boys!, and he looked touched receive such a warm reception. Addressing the cheering crowd, Pete blew a kiss and said, "I'm very happy to be here." It has also been revealed that Pete's found a home just 40 miles from his and Katie's Surrey mansion, and will be moving in this weekend. He has always maintained that his priority is to stay close to his children. Meanwhile, his estranged wife Katie Price is also due to make her first public appearance since the split today. She'll be modelling her equestrian range at The Clothes Show Live. We wonder if she'll get an equally positive welcome from the crowds?

EastEnders most controversial storyline yet?
EastEnders has tackled a number of controversial issues over the years, but this latest storyline is being hailed as the "most controversial" yet. New character Syed Massoud is set to embark on a gay love affair with catering manager Christian, and scenes of the pair snogging are expected to be shown. It is expected that the scenes could offend conservative Muslims, as homosexuality is deemed forbidden by Islamic law. When Syed first arrived in the Square, he had a girlfriend – but over the next few months it will become clear that he's been trying to repress his true sexuality. The show's producers say the storyline was designed to appeal to 21st century viewers and that it will appeal to the soap's "diverse audience".
