Boyle, who is currently appearing in the musical I Dreamed a Dream, had stopped to order food at the northbound services on the M6 in Knutsford, Cheshire when the incident happened.
An onlooker caught footage on her mobile phone of Boyle yelling: "I just want to go home, I want to go." She reportedly had to be calmed by an aide.
A restaurant customer said: "The girl behind the Burger King counter kept apologising for the wait for her coffee. Susan seemed a bit confused.
"When she went to sit down, a man asked her: 'Are you okay?' She then just flipped out and started screaming at him: 'F**k off - I'm having a bad day'."
A friend of Boyle is quoted as telling the Daily Mail: "Everyone knows that Susan is not able to express her emotions as many would which adds to her frustration.
"She wanted to go home as she was tired and upset and wanted to be in the sanctuary of her own house. She is very grateful for the amazing life she is now living and wouldn't swap it for the world.
"Susan is very sorry to anyone she upset on Thursday evening."
The Britain's Got Talent star has had treatment at the Priory clinic in the past following public outbursts.

Why are people being so dumb by saying, illness or not, she should act like that. Surely mental illness postulates irrationality - we all know she clearly isn't a diva.

Susan doesn't have a mental health difficulties, she has a mild learning disability due to minor brain damage at birth. Nothing to do with mental health whatsoever.

And how much did your mate get paid for this non-story? A member of Joe Public would not have been locked up if they had mental health issues, as Susan Boyle has
