Susan Boyle turned up to perform on 'X-Factor' with bright red hair after a home dyeing kit went wrong.

The Scottish singer - who shot to fame on UK TV show 'Britain's Got Talent'- flew into London from the US to appear on the programme, but was sporting an unusual red hair colour.

Susan - nicknamed the Hairy Angel - sent ITV bosses into a panic as top hairdressers were called in at the last minute to correct her hair colour.

It was a split-second reaction that changed my life.

A source said: "It was chaos. She was due on stage at 4pm on Saturday, but at 1pm she arrived with bright red hair and a great big grin.

"The grey bits had completely soaked up the colour and were especially vibrant. There was no way she could have gone on stage like that. At one point they considered giving her a wig."

The 48-year-old spinster - whose debut album 'I Dreamed A Dream' has become the most pre-ordered CD ever with online retailer Amazon - also recently told bullies to leave a girl alone who had been caught sneering at her first TV appearance, prompting a vicious hate campaign.

The 18-year-old hairdresser previously said: "It was a split-second reaction that changed my life."
