Britain's Got Talent runner up Susan Boyle was admitted to The Priory clinic last night suffering with exhaustion. Police were summoned to her hotel and the singer was assessed under the Mental Health Act after she had an 'emotional breakdown' following her shock defeat in the shows final. But, despite her distress at missing out to dance troupe Diversity, coming second was the best thing that could have happened to her, judge Piers Morgan has declared.

Settlement requested Sun 31st May 4:53pm PST by lola: Exhausted Boyle 'Admitted To The Priory'

SKY NEWS | 1:39am UK, Monday June 01, 2009

Britain's Got Talent sensation Susan Boyle has been taken to the Priory clinic by paramedics following concerns over her health, a newspaper has claimed. Last night producers of the talent show said Boyle was "exhausted and emotionally drained" amid reports she ran amok backstage after Saturday's final. According to reports in TheSun newspaper, show aides contacted police over concerns for the star's mental health after she had been behaving oddly in her London hotel. She was then taken to the private Priory clinic by ambulance, the paper claims, after being advised by a doctor to take some time off.

It looks like she has been taken to hospital already. Ambulance was called Sunday 6pm BST. The market graph looks like there have been some cheeky late predictions! The Category Editor will have to decide the cut-off time for late predictions.

The VOID time on this market was miscalculated. The first news story reporting that Susan Boyle was taken to a hospital did not post until 1:25 am (London Time) -- see above comment #4. My wagers were made at 12:16 am London time and were still voided. I can assure you that when I wagered my $20,000 --- there were NO NEWS STORIES confirming her hospitalization (it would have saved me a lot of stress if there were).

Comment #7 provides an accounting of the news story timeline. Please recalculate the void time so that legitimate wagers can be properly paid.

According to the timeline provided by the BBC -- 6 pm BST was the time at which the police were FIRST called to Ms. Boyle's hotel (and coincidentally this was also the time at which wagers were back-voided until). It seems like wagers made AFTER the first news story surfaced should be voided -- while wagers which were made prior to the first story being published confirming Ms. Boyle's hospitalization should be valid.

From my profile page:

jenniandboys[Admin]:

Sometimes its hard to determine when to set a backvoid time, but here it was posted that the ambulance was called at 6pm which makes a very logical back void time. Will she be taken to the hospital? Yes, and that was answered at precisely 6pm. The news may have trickled out in bits and drabs after that point through seemingly every single news source in the world, but here we know when the event actually happened, so I'm going to stick with that 6pm cutoff. Thanks for the note.

The question as written "Will Susan Boyle be admitted to hospital by the end of June" was NOT answered in the affirmative at 6 PM BST because the police and paramedics were only just arriving at the hotel at 6 pm BST (they were not arriving at the hospital to admit Ms. Boyle @ 6 PM BST as your settlement time would imply).

The BBC quotation clearly goes on to say that Ms. Boyle was assessed and LATER taken to the hospital. In the absence of a specific time that Ms. Boyle actually arrived at the hospital, the void time should be set for when the first news story was released at 1:25 am June 1st.
