The first pictures emerged today of Susan Boyle's much-hyped appearance on Oprah as fears grew over her increasingly unusual behaviour.
The images of the Britain's Got Talent star singing Who I Was Born to Be on America's most iconic chat show will hearten her legions of fans on both sides of Atlantic.
But many will be concerned at growing evidence that she may once again be showing signs of not being able to cope with the pressures of stardom.
And with two more examples of her erratic behaviour in just 24 hours, Susan Boyle has done nothing to ease their fears.
The singer launched into a foulmouthed rant at a cafe in her home town after complaining that her personal assistant had told her she needed to go on a diet.
The following day, Miss Boyle, who has learning difficulties, had a tantrum in the British Airways VIP lounge at Heathrow.
She was seen dancing and singing with a mop in front of fellow first class passengers. She also shouted obscenities and tried to polish a passenger's shoes with the mop.
The incidents are another sign that Miss Boyle, 48, could be becoming overwhelmed by the demands on her after her success on ITV's Britain's Got Talent.
A source close to Miss Boyle said she felt she was being pulled in different directions by her managers - Andy Stephens who used to work with George Michael, U2's former accountant Ossie Kilkenny and one of her nieces, Kirsty.
The source added: 'No wonder Susan may be a bit frazzled - it's all a bit too much to take in.'
The first of the latest incidents came on Monday at The Mill Cafe, near the council house in West Lothian, where Miss Boyle has lived since she was a baby.

"...spending your millions modestly and in happiness."
Possible. I have a child with BP disorder and it can cause extreme swings on behavior and mood.
Maybe so. Or maybe, "Unfortunately after we deduct for taxes, representation fees, advertising, travel expenses, administrative fees, legal fees, and liability insurance, we find that you owe the agency £500,000 above your total earnings."
I wish her well.
Yeah, that's certainly possible too. We'll have to see how it goes.
So sadly true!
LOL And people are buying stuff because of that singing mop.
This woman isnt acting any differently than a lot of stars. I guess whomever thought this was odd, doesnt read enough headlines while standing on line in the supermarket.
