Susan Boyle has been left "terrified and shaken" after a fan attempted to break into her hotel room this week.
The singing superstar was staying at Liverpool's Hope Street Hotel when the man followed Susan to her room, evading her security team before running to her door just as she went inside.
The dramatic incident comes just weeks after her former gardener turned up drunk at her house and demanded money, and in 2010, she discovered a teenage intruder at her Scottish home.
The source adds: "The attention she was getting from fans was a bit much, especially given what happened at her home recently. The last thing she needed was someone trying to get into her room.
"She loves performing but sometimes the reaction of fans is really intense. Her nerves were already frayed and she shouldn't have to worry about people hounding her at her hotel. She wanted to get as far away from the drama as possible and recharge her batteries."
She had earlier performed at the city's Empire Theatre.

After Saturday's SuBo moment on Britain's Got Talent, opera singer Jonathan Antoine has become an overnight star. But the 17-year-old has revealed he has not...
It was hard, unearthing deep wounds of my childhood, but much like the documentary, if people knew me and had a better insight, then hopefully that would bring understanding and acceptance.
I have a theory on why Susan Boyle has become such an instant and inescapable internet star -- she rebukes the bitchy cynicism that often defines reality talent shows.
While the music industry sleepwalks through the same failed practices that stopped working years ago, Susan Boyle's "Dream" provides clues on how to revitalize the business of music.
Susan Boyle changed our image of her, but also our image of ourselves. She turned us from a crowd of snickering sophisticates into people with a shared sense of loss and longing.
Susan-Boyle.com has created a destination where people can connect, share stories, and record videos -- millions of people are flocking to a virtual destination and forming a "flash mob"-style community.
If she wanted to be escorted then she would have to pay a bodyguard. When a celebrity goes working somewhere she gets well paid. They do not also pay a fortune for a bodyguard. That is down to her.

Poor thing. This aspect of fame is really the scariest. Her innocence to relationships with men is also probably attracting some sickies. I bet rape is a great concern to her. This is certainly not the way that a woman wants to experience men. May the heavens dispatch protectors.

Well said. Pity the security team didn't help this individual back to the lobby again by defenestration a la James Bond movie [remember the line " I didn't know there was a swimming pool down there ?"].

what a bunch of nasty comments, im sure she would have been scared no matter what she looked like, would the comments be so nasty if she had been a size zero model or some one who is considered beautiful
just_a_mum: what a bunch of nasty comments, im sure she would
Some people leave negative comments on anything . I guess they are frustrated comedians but your point is a good one . No matter how talented ... clever ... gifted people are unless they are " beautiful" they are fair game .

yes quite right! then there was the business where he tried to escape using the lift but other fans were init so he had no choice but to take the stairs & was followed by her, he made a dash to the nearest door as she tried to force him into her room & give him her autograph & much more. But he managed to get away safe & sound. It was really scary for him.To follow someone down four flights of stairs is a bit creepy. He was terrified & shaken.
