Scottish singing sensation Susan Boyle suffered an emotional meltdown and had to be hospitalized after this weekend’s stunning upset on the finale of Britain’s Got Talent.

Susan — who became a YouTube sensation after performing a rendition of “I Dreamed A Dream” from the musical Les Miserables on the talent series earlier this year — lost the title to Diversity, a dance troupe from Essex, England.

The church volunteer received only twenty percent of the 4 million audience votes that decided the show’s winner.

According to Britain’s Daily Mail, the 48-year-old was rushed to The Priory – the famed celebrity rehab clinic – because of “exhaustion” following her Talent defeat.

On Sunday, Britain’s Got Talent released a statement saying Boyle had been told by doctors to take a break from her sudden stardom.

“Following Saturday night’s show, Susan is exhausted and emotionally drained. She has been seen by her private GP who supports her decision to take a few days out for rest and recovery,” The Daily Mail reported the statement as saying.

“We offer her our ongoing support and wish her a speedy recovery.”
