Looks like dreaming the dream has proved a tough a task for Susan Boyle.

Just one day after her show-stopping finale performance—and her startling upset—in Britain's Got Talent, the YouTube songbird has reportedly been admitted to a London-area clinic suffering from exhaustion.

According to British media reports, Boyle, 48, was voluntarily taken by ambulance following a visit to her London hotel by police.

Per the Sun, Boyle checked into the Priory Clinic, but the facility issued a statement saying, "We can neither confirm nor deny reports." Likewise, Scotland Yard wouldn't name names, but said a woman was brought in with police supervision under the Mental Health Act.

This is just another incident in a week of struggles for the surprise international sensation. Prior to her Talent loss, Boyle was allegedly involved in two obscene outbursts and moved into a safe house before the finale.

Earlier Sunday, it was reported that Boyle would be taking some much-needed time off at the behest of her doctor.
