West Lothian superstar Susan Boyle pictured relaxing on holiday in Ireland

Susan Boyle has been enjoying a peaceful getaway in Ireland, with the former Britain’s Got Talent star delighting fans with her surprise visit to the Emerald Isle.

The Blackburn singing sensation (61), who became a household name after competing on Britain’s Got Talent in 2009, recently spent some time at the Knock House Hotel in Mayo in the West of Ireland.

The I Dreamed A Dream hit-maker joyfully posed for photos with excited locals in the area before the hotel took to Facebook to share a snippet of Susan’s stay at the famous hotel.

The hotel’s official Facebook page shared some snaps of Susan beaming alongside some local residents.

Alongside the photos, the caption read: “I t was our pleasure to welcome Susan Boyle back to Knock House again recently.

“Susan is a fabulous Lady and we always love to see her return time and time again to Knock House Hotel. Pictured here with the lovely Des Dugan from the team at Senior Times LIVE.”

After discovering that much-loved Britain’s Got Talent star had visited the local area, some fans took the comments to share their disappointment at missing a chance to meet Susan, while others gushed over the singer.

“OMG, this is literally down the road from me. RAGING that I missed getting a picture with Subo,” one fan commented.

“Susan seems like such a lovely woman. What a talent. Hope she had a wonderful stay in Ireland,” another echoed.

“Great picture. Susan your voice is beautiful. Nice to see you enjoying your time in Knock Hotel,” someone else penned.

While a fourth added: “The best act to ever come from BGT!! How wrong Simon Cowell was about her. Always welcome back to Ireland, Susan.”

It’s not the first time Susan has visited Ireland and spent time in Knock having previously stayed in the same hotel a number of years ago.

The singer also previously revealed that she has a large Irish family with many cousins.

“I was up visiting people in Donegal, I’ve got a few cousins up there on my mother’s side, the McLoughlins,” she previously revealed.

Susan rose to fame in 2009 after appearing as a contestant on the third series of Britain’s Got Talent, singing ‘I Dreamed a Dream’ from Les Misérables.
