Susan Boyle, the Scottish spinster who became a global singing sensation overnight after appearing on Britain's Got Talent, has been urged to resist a "Simon Cowell makeover".

Amanda Holden, a judge on the ITV1 talent show, warned that the 47-year-old churchgoer would be "spoiled" by being given a Hollywood-style new look.

Miss Boyle, from Blackburn, West Lothian, left judges almost speechless with her rendition of "I Dreamed A Dream" from Les Miserables shown last week.

Since then about 20 million people have watched clips of her performance on the internet.

She has also sung on several US television programmes by satellite link-up and has been invited to appear with Oprah Winfrey.

Admirers include Demi Moore, the Hollywood star, and her husband, Ashton Kutcher, who praised Miss Boyle on the microblogging site Twitter.

But Miss Holden warned against allowing image makers to change her plain style.

She suggested that her fellow judge Simon Cowell wanted to give Miss Boyle a Hollywood makeover complete with whitened teeth and a new hairstyle.

"I won't let Simon Cowell take her to his dentist and I certainly won't let her near his hairdresser," she told the Daily Mirror.

"She needs to stay exactly as she is because that's the reason we love her.

"She just looks like anybody who could live on your street.

"The minute we turn her into a glamourpuss is when it's spoilt.

"That can perhaps come later when she has signed the album deal and conquered America.
