Susan Boyle has an international profile after a rapid rise to fame

The Britain`s Got Talent star has insisted the incident is "nothing to worry about", but her brother said he was worried she is not properly protected.

The singer, 48, disturbed an intruder as she returned to her home in Bathgate, West Lothian on Tuesday, after recording the Helping Haiti charity single in London.

Boyle`s brother John said he was very upset about the "lack of security".

Mr Boyle, 59, told The Sun: "Her management company are too busy counting the money Susan has made them to consider her safety.

"The family have told them several times that vast improvements need to be made to avoid something like this happening.

"Susan is a massive world star and needs better protection.

"You look at what happened to John Lennon in New York - it`s really worrying."

The former Beatle was shot outside his apartment by Mark Chapman, who had asked the musician for his autograph only hours before.
