Susan Boyle has written to airport staff apologising after an incident at Heathrow Airport.

The former Britain's Got Talent star was led away by officers after the disturbance in an airport lounge as she was due to head home to West Lothian, Scotland.

Witnesses said the star looked confused and was shouting "I've done nothing wrong".

Her management team have since responded, saying:

"The incident at Heathrow occurred because of Susan's well-documented Asperger syndrome.

"It is a life-long condition and one of the many characteristics is outbursts.

"She continues to enjoy her music career. That is very important to her and brings happiness to her life whilst trying to balance the many challenges that Aspergers brings."

They reportedly added that future tours in Europe may be limited to road journeys to avoid any further distress.

On Monday (April 25th) police confirmed they'd been called to 'reports of a distressed woman' and a spokesperson for the singer said she was 'absolutely fine and on her way home'.

Earlier this month it's reported the star had a panic attack at an airport in Northern Ireland too.

The 55-year-old has spoken openly about how difficult it can be to manage the condition, saying it can leave her feeling depressed. But she admitted that since her diagnosis she's been finding new ways to deal with it.

Susan acheived worldwide success since surprising judges with 'I Dreamed A Dream' on the talent show back in 2012.
