In an upcoming documentary called Susan Boyle: An Unlikely Superstar, she said: "I'm ashamed to admit it, but yes. But I'm getting a wee bit older now and I'm more used to it. You get nothing done by shouting and bawling. I'm not proud of it but I was known as the Miss Piggy of temper."

The 50-year-old Scottish star, who once claimed that she had "never been kissed", has confessed that she's still lonely but is hoping that she'll get lucky in the future.

The 'I Dreamed A Dream' singer said: "Am I lonely? I would be lying if I said otherwise. I often say how lonely I am.

"You feel it sometimes at night. You just hope the job that you've got wins you new friends and maybe one day that vital person. "He would have to be kind, loving and maybe someone who could keep me calm. Someone special. Someone extra special. There's plenty of time."

Susan Boyle: An Unlikely Superstar airs on ITV1 on Friday (04.11.11).
