Gordon Brown as Susan Boyle

From the Telegraph, 1 June 2009:

Speaking on GMTV Mr Brown said he watched the final on Saturday night and described the winning dance group as "absolutely wonderful". 

But he said: "I hope Susan Boyle is OK because she is a really, really nice person and I think she will do well. 

"I spoke to Simon Cowell last night and to Piers Morgan and wanted to be sure that she was OK."

How long ago all that now seems!
