She rose to worldwide prominence in 2009 after finishing second on Britain’s Got Talent.

And Susan Boyle was looking effortlessly chic in a cream trouser suit as she was spotted on a rare outing close to her home in the remote Scottish village of West Lothian on Thursday.

The singer, 59, was looking ever-stylish with her cropped tresses slicked back as she crossed the road during a low-key stroll.

Showcasing her sense of style, Susan sported a white logo t-shirt under a cream blazer and matching trousers, adding a casual twist with flat shoes.

The Scottish crooner kept wet cropped tresses slicked back as she walked through her village in the sunshine.

Despite earning millions since finishing runner-up on BGT 11 years ago, Susan has continued to reside in her humble home in Scotland.

Last year, the singing superstar admitted that she felt like an ‘act in a freak show’ during her first audition on Britain’s Got Talent.

Susan admitted she felt ‘suffocated’ when she took to the stage as people were ‘laughing at her crazy hair’ and dress sense.   

She told the Irish Mirror: ‘It felt quite suffocating, almost as though I was an act in a freak show, and that hurt. It was incredibly difficult to come to terms with for a time, but the positives have far outweighed the negatives.’

‘Everyone was laughing at me; they wondered who this daft woman with the crazy hair was… and I had made a bad choice in clothes, so no-one had high expectations.’

Susan had the last laugh when she blew the judges and crowds away with her rendition of Les Misérables’ I Dreamed A Dream – becoming one of the most iconic reality show contestants in history. 

In February Susan also confessed that despite her worldwide fame she hasn’t been on a date in six years.

Discussing how she went ‘missing’ with a doctor, she explained on Loose Women: ‘Let’s just say he rubbed me up the right way.’

Though when asked where she had a Valentine’s date she refused to say, and said it was ‘a secret’, before claiming: ‘There was somebody once but they had the sense to end the relationship, I think.’

Despite keeping mum about her relationship status, Susan did reveal that she had a crush on Piers Morgan and would ‘give him a smash.’
