Susan Boyle stunned the world and won hearts back in 2009 when she first appeared on Britain’s Got Talent. Although she ultimately finished as runner-up to the dance troupe Diversity, her career soared — she went on to sell over 19 million albums and has built an impressive fortune estimated at £22 million.
This week, the 64-year-old singer made a surprising return to social media, debuting a dramatic hair makeover and sharing some exciting news with fans. You can watch the video she posted on Instagram here…
Despite her global success, Susan has remained firmly connected to her roots in Blackburn, West Lothian. She’s never left the town she grew up in — in fact, she still lives in the very same council house where she spent her childhood.
When fame first came calling, Susan purchased her three-bedroom former council home for £65,000. Although she briefly bought a £300,000 five-bedroom detached home elsewhere in town in 2010, she soon realized it didn’t feel like home and returned to her original house.
A few years later, she purchased the neighboring property for £110,000, merging the two houses to create her ideal living space.
Over time, Susan has given her home a stylish refresh. Speaking to the Edinburgh Evening News in 2019, she shared, “The house really needed fixing up — I was starting to misplace things!” She explained that she had the kitchen remodeled, the living room redecorated, the floors redone, and even added a charming summerhouse in the backyard. The updates, she said, have made her home feel “bigger and much more homely.”
Inside, Susan’s décor style is simple yet elegant. According to the Edinburgh Evening News, the home features soft tones of silver, grey, and cream, with subtle touches of sparkle on the walls for added charm.
Her living room is especially cozy, adorned with silver-and-cream striped wallpaper from Next, framed photos of her parents, and religious keepsakes watching over the space — all of which can be seen in the background of her 2020 birthday tribute video to Colonel Tom Moore.
