Susan Boyle 'glowing' as she soaks up Scottish weather at BBQ with pals
Former Britain's Got Talent star Susan Boyle, 64, delighted fans with an update on social media as she enjoyed a BBQ with friends as the country basked in a rare run of hotter weather.
Susan Boyle has taken to social media with a delightful life update. The Scottish singing sensation took to Instagram, as she shared a snippet of how she's been enjoying the better weather.
The 64-year-old former Britain's Got Talent star looked absolutely glowing, as she grinned in the snaps at a pal's BBQ. She donned an airy white and blue striped button dress, paired with a chic sun hat.
Not one to miss out on the warmer weather across Scotland being the green light for an alcoholic beverage, Susan seemed to treat herself to a glass of fizz.
"What lovely weather we're having! Yesterday I popped round to a friend's for a wee BBQ! Great food, great company, and plenty of laughs in the sunshine!," she wrote alongside a sun emoji.
Her loyal legion of fans were quick to rush to the comments, praising the singer on how great she's looking. One simply wrote, "Your looking great Susan."
Another fan echoed, "You look great Ms. Boyle! So good to see you thriving and living your best life," as a third quipped, "Laughs as often as possible, delighted to see you so at ease."
"Hi Susan brilliant to see you & looking so Well & Happy. BBQ' s are the Best with Good Friends & Family. Take care," penned another fan.
Someone else wrote, "So glad you are enjoying life Susan!You look brilliant.Love your beautiful voice. Do you ever come to Ireland to sing??"
"Great stuff Susan , looking gorgeous as always," chimed one fan, as another added, "Susan you look fabulous, lovely to see you relaxed and having fun x"
"What a great way to relax, sunshine and friendships are precious memories," quipped another. As someone else joked, "You are such a beautiful lady . Warm regards from Sydney/Australia. I hope you graced them with a song."
Susan Boyle, the vocal powerhouse who shot to fame with her stunning rendition of "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Misérables on BGT in 2009, continues to win over fans to this day.
Despite being the runner-up to dance troupe Diversity, her introductory album broke global sales records, topping over 10 million units sold. Following the ITV competition, the West Lothian sensation, lovingly dubbed 'SuBo', has maintained a comparatively quiet life, treasuring her Scottish roots.
Nonetheless, she made waves on an international stage when she starred on America's Got Talent: The Champions in 2018 and received a golden buzzer courtesy of Mel B, despite not securing a spot in the final five.
More recently, Susan featured at the Opening Ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 with her singing talent and is now poised to delight attendees at the forthcoming National Prayer Breakfast for Scotland in Edinburgh.
Expressing her excitement to RSVP Live, she said: "I am thrilled to be performing at the Scottish Prayer Breakfast. My faith has always been my strength and backbone throughout my career."

Emmerdale actor leaves fans in 'bits' as he breaks down at Soap Awards
Fans watching the British Soap Awards on TV spotted the emotional moment. Emmerdale fans were left emotional whilst watching the British Soap Awards as long-time cast member Jeff Hordley, who plays Cain Dingle, broke down in tears during a powerful tribute. The glittering took place at London's Hackney Empire on Saturday (May 31) but aired on TV on Thursday night. On the evening a Memorial section was included in the ceremony to honour late soap icons who are sadly no longer with us. Among the stars who were remembered were Meg Johnson, Kenneth Cope, Anita Carey, and finally Emmerdale legend Steve Halliwell, who played Zak Dingle, writes The Mirror. Steve, who passed away in December 2023 at the age of 77, played the much-loved patriarch of the Dingle family for almost thirty years. The star first appeared in the ITV soap in 1994, and then went on to be featured in more than 2,400 episodes of Emmerdale. His tribute featured a moving montage of his work, which was accompanied by a live piano instrumental. As Halliwell's final clip played, cameras panned to Jeff Hordley, who plays Zak's son in the soap. The actor was visibly emotional and looked as if he was wiping away tears from his eyes, which prompted a heartfelt reaction from fans on social media. One viewer wrote: "Aww, you could see at the end there seeing Steve affected Jeff." Another affected fan added: "Broke me that Steve Halliwell with Jeff Hordley." Steve Halliwell passed away peacefully surrounded by his loved ones, according to a statement released by his family in 2023. They said: "He went to sleep, peacefully with his loved ones around him. He was making us laugh to the end, the most amazing father and grandfather you could ever wish for." ITV also released a touching tribute at the time, saying: "Steve will forever be synonymous with Emmerdale. The proud defender and head of the Dingle family. Heart and humour in all he did, it has been and always will be impossible not to smile when you think of him." Aside from Emmerdale, Halliwell also appeared in popular shows including Coronation Street, Heartbeat, All Creatures Great and Small, and Cracker. However, it was his portrayal of farmer Zak Dingle that he is primarily remembered for. He previously opened up about his family's financial hardships during his childhood, admitting that his mum couldn't even afford to buy him a bacon sandwich. Steve shared: "When I first went on this walk there was a small café in the woods known as Nab's Wife (a corruption of the area originally known as Nab's Wharfe), where you could get a refreshing cup of tea and a Mars bar. You could also get a bacon butty, but we never had enough money for such 'luxuries'. On one occasion I persuaded mum to give Clive and me enough money for a bacon butty each, but when we got to the café it was all boarded up and, sadly, never reopened." He was homeless and even imprisoned for "wandering" under the Vagrancy Act early on in his adult life before he went on to find solace in acting and made a name for himself as the formidable head of the Dingle family.

From the Bay City Rollers in the 1970s to contemporary acts such as Lewis Capaldi, there are more legendary Scots music acts than you might think. One music buff recently took to social media to ask others their top musicians from Scotland. Posting on Reddit on Wednesday, June 4, they questioned: "What's your favourite Scottish musician? "There are way more of them than I thought." The post has since received more than 85 comments from fellow music enthusiasts. Many were quick to share their top Scottish musicians. One of the top responses to the question named Elizabeth Fraser as the number one Scottish musician.

Their most well-known album is Heaven or Las Vegas from 1990, which has become a cult favourite and routinely appears on lists of the greatest albums of all time. Elsewhere, one music fan stated that Boards of Canada was their favourite Scottish band. Despite the name, Boards of Canada was formed in Edinburgh in the late 1980s. The electronic music duo became popular following the release of their first full album Music Has the Right to Children in 1998. Since then, they have released acclaimed albums such as The Campfire Headphase in 2005 and Tomorrow's Harvest in 2013. Meanwhile, another Reddit user wrote that Frightened Rabbit was their number one Scottish music act.

Frightened Rabbit was headed by musician Scott Hutchison, who tragically died in 2018. Another contemporary Scottish act named by one music buff as their favourite is Lauren Mayberry. Originating from Stirling, Mayberry is the vocalist and percussionist of the band CHVRCHES. CHVRCHES formed in Glasgow in 2011, and are renowned for their synth-pop sound. The group have released critically and commercially successful albums such as The Bones of What You Believe, Every Open Eye, and Screen Violence—the latter two of which peaked at number one on the Scottish albums chart.
