Great food, great company, and plenty of laughs in the sunshine!" Her loyal legion of fans were quick to rush to the comments. 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."

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."

From KL to Rahul bhai – Indian opener finds his Zen mode in England
The question before the series was whether KL Rahul was a consistently good batsman or a batsman who just played good knocks. It was something that bothered the batsman too. Few days before this Test, he would bump into his one-time team mate Cheteshwar Pujara and share with him his goals for this England tour. Rahul wanted to convert his good starts into great hundreds. Words can follow but the numbers rest Rahul's case. The Indian opener's scoring sequence in the forgettable Australia tour was – 26, 77, 37, 7, 84, 4*, 24, 0, 4, 13. In England it has been – 42, 137, 2, 55, 100. From just two 50s in 5 Tests, Rahul has 2 hundreds and 1 fifty in two Tests here. Now, it seems he is a good batsman with good knocks. India's new senior-most batsman is doing what seniors are supposed to be doing. From being 'KL' to Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, he now is the 'big brother' that this young team calls him 'Rahul bhai.' In Indian cricket that addressing comes with responsibility. Rahul isn't a Rohit or Virat, he is a throwback. He is more Dravid. It's been just six months into 2025 but this has been a milestone year for Rahul. This March he became a father, this IPL he found his peace and this time in England he figured out the art of Test match batting. A second appearance on the Lord's Honours Board for @klrahul ?? — Lord's Cricket Ground (@HomeOfCricket) July 12, 2025 From the time England was batting on this strangely cryptic surface and finding run-making difficult, it was said that the one India batsman equipped to score runs here was Rahul. Not among India's stroke makers like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill or Rishabh Pant; the seasoned opener had the technique to deal with the pitch that changes its character each day, every session. He also had that one important characteristic – he could control his urges. The English bowlers, as directed by skipper Ben Stokes, kept tempting Rahul. This morning Jofra Archer, from the pavilion end, would test the two overnight batsmen – Rahul and Pant with a barrage of bumpers. In the game's 54th over, the ball changed a couple of times before Archer bowled to Rahul with a virtual unguarded off-side. No third man, no deep point, no sweeper cover, no long off but there were slips and fielders in the point region. Archer would bowl a series of harmless short balls outside off-stump. This was an invite for Rahul to play the ramp shot or lift them over the in-field. Early in the day, these were slightly risky shots but also an opportunity to get some easy runs. Maybe, Rahul of BGT or before would have thrown his hands at the ball but not Rahul of 2025. Soon, the bowlers would tire and attack the stumps. Brydon Carse would be called to the task. England was playing into India's hands, this is the line Rahul has liked in this Test. This is where he has scored most of his runs. Carse would come running and with his big jump with a microsecond of jump time bring the ball into the batsman from the corner of the crease. Rahul would wait for the ball and guide it to square leg and get boundaries. And in case he would bowl on the off, he would drive it through covers. In one Carse over, 54th of the inning, Rahul scored 3 successive boundaries. Having negotiated the all-important first session of the Test's moving day, Day 3, Rahul would be in 90s with lunch round the corner. Pant and Rahul, for the second time in the series, were having an important partnership. They are an odd couple with contrasting batting approaches. One copy book, the other the inventor and executor of all audacious strokes. After their partnership at Headingley, Rahul, like an indulgent elder, had said how he lets Pant be himself and enjoys his audacious strokes. Though, Rahul does mentor him when the two bat together. Here at Lord's Pant thought of doing his partner a favour. In the last over before lunch, the wicket-keeper ran a tight single so that 'Rahul bhai' gets his hundred and has a happy meal. It proved to be a wrong call and Pant would get run out. At the start of the second session, Rahul would complete the formality and reach 100. But was soon out, caught in the slips while trying to guide a Shoaib Basheer off-spinner to cover point and take a single. Having played 177 balls, Rahul had done his bit for the team, a role he has smoothly settled in now. He has moved on from his difficult past. During this IPL there was this Rahul's almost expressionless formal greeting to his former franchise owner, LSG's Sanjeev Goenka, a team with which he has a history, seen as an ultimate act of coolness. After his last hundred, he had spoken about his new mind space. He said he has understood that hard work and runs don't have a connection but being committed to your process was the only way to survive the brutal world of professional sport. Rahul, also said that since he was now out of the captaincy race, he has clarity about his role as 'doubts and questions in the head have been put to rest'. Rahul has found his niche and peace. Rahul, the batsman, is in the zone. Rahul, the cricketer, is in Zen mode.

Bruno Tonioli 'leaving Britain's Got Talent', reports say
The Italian-British TV star has been a part of the ITV talent show for two series, but is now going to quit. He missed some episodes in the latest series of the show and was replaced by guest judge KSI. With his exit rumoured to be coming, here's who is lined up to be the new judge, and who fans want to see. Last series was not short of scares, and this lot certainly kept us in suspense with their danger-filled auditions! Check out our most dangerous acts from #BGT Series 18: Do not try these acts at home! — BGT (@BGT) July 11, 2025 Bruno Tonioli 'leaving Britain's Got Talent' An insider told The Sun that Tonioli would not be able to film the show due to prior commitments in the US for Dancing with the Stars. They said: "The filming schedule in 2024 meant that Bruno could get away with not being present for filming one week of auditions. 'But it would be virtually impossible for him to miss two weeks, because in the final edit, that equates to half the episodes in the new three-month run of BGT, which will air from February of 2026. 'There is absolutely no ill feeling about the situation, it's simply down to changes in the schedule making it incredibly difficult to remain as a full-time judge. 'The only hope is if his long-time friend and fellow panellist Simon Cowell steps in to make it clear that he has to be a part of the show, no matter how difficult it proves to be.' Who will replace Bruno Tonioli on Britain's Got Talent? According to the report from the publisher, the frontrunners are KSI and Alan Carr. KSI, being the guest judge on the last series, could make for an obvious choice, with many enjoying his brief appearances on the show. Alan was one of the previous favourites to replace former judge David Walliams before Tonioli was chosen. Reacting to the news online, fans of the show have had their say on who they would like to fill the soon-to-be-vacant judging chair. One said: "Alan Carr would be the right choice." Another said: "I beg BGT bring in Alan Carr. KSI didn't work, I might actually watch this abysmal show if Alan Carr was on it." "Alan Carr every single day," said a third. Some, however, backed internet personality KSI to take on the role fully. Recommended reading: "No KSI no party," one joked. A second said: "Alan Carr would be good but I've gotta go with my guy KSI to be the next judge." Other names that were thrown in the hat by fans included Harry Hill, Sam Thompson or Pete Wicks, or bringing back David Walliams.
