Britain's Got Talent star Susan Boyle is said to have turned down an invite to have dinner with Barack Obama.
Dubbed "The Hairy Angel", Su-bo confessed to being too nervous to meet the President and decided to decline the invite, instead opting to stay at home with her cat, according to the News of the World.
President Obama is the singer's most famous fan and was guest of honour at the annual Correspondents Dinner in Washington DC last night.
A source told the newspaper: 'She was shocked and thrilled by the invite - but it was all too much too soon for her so she said no.
'She has been told President Obama has seen clips of her on TV and loved her singing. And she is delighted.
'But instead she'll have no doubt stayed in with her cat Pebbles, washed her hair and watched Britain's Got Talent on telly.'
American TV networks gave Susan, 47, a special invitation to the event - for which invites were like gold dust.
As well as the president she would have also been rubbing shoulders with Hollywood A-listers.
But instead she opted for a night in at home in Blackburn, West Lothian with her cat Pebbles, to watch Britian's Got Talent.
The source added: 'She knows she would have been incredibly nervous if she'd gone.
'But her dream is to sing for President Obama one day.
'She loves him and thinks he is already a terrific president.'
Scottish spinster has been in demand in the U.S. after her performance of Les Miserable's I Dreamed a Dream, was viewed 100million times on YouTube.
She became a global phenomenon and has been invited by American talk show queen Oprah Winfrey to come onto her famous show.
