Susan Boyle makes rare public appearance 13 years after Britain’s Got Talent
BRITAIN’S Got Talent star Susan Boyle has made a rare public appearance, 13 years after starring on the show.
The singer – who rose to fame back in 2009 with her rendition of I Dreamed A Dream from Les Miserables – surprised fans in Ireland.
Susan, 61, stopped to pose for photos at the Knock House Hotel in County Mayo over the weekend.
The singer was seen alongside the owners of the hotel, as they gushed over hosting the Britain’s Got Talent star.
Susan kept it casual with no make-up and looked cosy in a white cardigan and yellow rain coat, which she paired with a white bag.
She smiled wide for the photo alongside the hotel owner, who gushed over her as a “fabulous lady”.
Taking to their Facebook page, the hotel penned: “It was our pleasure to welcome Susan Boyle back to Knock House again recently.
“Susan is a fabulous Lady and we always love to see her return time and time again to Knock House Hotel.”
Susan last made a public appearance back in 2021, where she was reunited with BGT judge Amanda Holden.
She took to Heart Radio alongside Amanda and her co-host Jamie Theakston to look back on her iconic audition.
“I’m trying to think when we last saw each other,” Amanda gushed. “Must have been on one of the specials, I think – the BGT specials.”
“Probably way!” Susan replied, before the topic of conversation turned to the singing sensations former crush on judge Piers, 56.
“You don’t fancy Piers anymore I gather?” Amanda jibed, to which Susan hit back: “I respect him but I don’t fancy him. I’ve grown up a bit now!”
Susan has kept her life private since the show, despite amassing an impressive £22million fortune.
The star revealed to Piers Morgan that she lives off a rather more humble £300-£500 weekly allowance, calling the sum “plenty”.
Despite selling more than 25million albums worldwide, Susan still lives in the same house she grew up in.
The former council house in Blackburn, West Lothian is certainly modest considering her estimated £22 million fortune, but the most important thing to Susan is the memories.
Speaking to OK!, she said: “It’s to do with the memories of your house and your upbringing, you need to take stock of things and maybe see where you come from and where your roots lie.
“It’s best to be grounded and with your roots. It keeps you grounded and prevents you from saying things maybe you shouldn’t say.”
That doesn’t mean Susan hasn’t spent a bit of her money on transforming the property, fitting it with a sleek, modern kitchen and a cosy living room.
