An auditionee on The X Factor threatened to kill herself after being rejected by all four judges on the panel.
The unnamed woman in her 50s broke down in front of the cameras during her post-audition interview on the second day of filming for the London shows, The Sun reports.
The woman was then seen by a doctor reportedly hired in the aftermath of Susan Boyle's admission to the Priory clinic after losing in the final of Britain's Got Talent.
Social worker Tracey Ward told the newspaper: "She ran off, shouting that she was going to commit suicide. The producers ran after her. An hour-and-a-half later they were still making sure that she was okay. As a stranger, I could quite clearly and immediately see that she was vulnerable - and yet she must have passed three auditions to get through to this stage."
She added: "At each of those auditions she must have been told she was good enough to go through to the next stage. It creates a false impression that she was good when actually they just thought she was funny."
