Britain’s Got Talent icon Susan Boyle made a rare public appearance at the Pride of Scotland Awards on Monday, looking sensational in a pale pink jumpsuit with feather sleeves.
The 63-year-old singer, who shot to fame in 2009 after wowing judges with her rendition of 'I Dreamed a Dream', said: 'I feel so honoured to be here. This is an incredible evening celebrating extraordinary people who deserve special recognition.'
Boyle finished runner-up on the ITV competition and went on to have the best-selling debut album of 2009, earning two Grammy nominations and releasing eight records. She has largely stayed out of the spotlight in recent years.
Last year, she returned to the Britain’s Got Talent final to duet with Lucie Jones, revealing she had suffered a minor stroke. After a standing ovation, Simon Cowell told her: 'We owe you so much. I knew you weren’t well but if anyone was going to come back, you were going to come back.'
Despite her wealth, Boyle has remained in her childhood home, explaining: 'It’s to do with the memories of your house and your upbringing... It keeps you grounded.'
