Susan Boyle has reportedly been rushed to the Priory following her shock defeat in the Britain's Got Talent final.
The Scottish star was taken on Sunday night to the private clinic after show staff contacted police to say she was acting strangely at her London hotel.
Officers were called to assist and Susan was reportedly taken by ambulance to the Priory in Southgate, north London, escorted by police.
A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said: "Police were called to doctors assessing a woman under the Mental Health Act. The woman was taken voluntarily by ambulance to a clinic. At the request of doctors, police accompanied the ambulance."
Earlier on Sunday it emerged Susan was taking time off on the advice of a doctor after losing to dance act Diversity in the ITV talent show.
Television company talkbackThames released a statement offering her "ongoing support" amid newspaper reports that she had run amok backstage after her loss shouting "I hate this show".
Show winners Diversity expressed sympathy for her situation.
"I feel for her because she had a lot of hype around her and she didn't ask for it," Ashley Banjo, the group's leader and choreographer, told ITV's This Morning.
"We're a group and we're a very close group, so we've got each other, whereas Susan and the other solo acts are kind of there on their own in the limelight."
Fred O'Neil, Susan's friend and former voice coach, told BBC Breakfast: "It's such a tragic situation... I just hope that whatever fame that she has got out of this will eventually bring her some happiness. Obviously at the present time it is not."
