Susan Boyle showed off her new blonde hair as she soaked in the British sunshine at a BBQ on Monday. 

The iconic Britain’s Got Talent singer, 63, made her return to social media and the world of showbiz last month with a video on Instagram announcing: ‘I’m back!’

Susan has since been posting regularly and even debuted a new blonde hairstyle earlier this month, which she again displayed on Wednesday. 

Her latest post showed the Ten singer enjoying the start of the summer at a friend’s BBQ, where she was pictured flipping burgers and sipping a glᴀss of champagne.

Susan slipped into a ʙuттon-up blue and white striped summer dress for the occasion which she teamed with a wide brim sun hat.

The BGT legend, who suffered a stroke three years ago, seemed in good spirits too as she showed off her new hairstyle while cracking a smile for the camera and ‘having a laugh’ with friends. 

She captioned her post: ‘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.’

The songstress’ return to the showbiz world comes after an almost three years health battle after her stroke, which left her struggling to speak or sing. 

Susan opened up on her struggles in an interview in December, admitting it’s ‘been hard’. ‘I’m back alright. I’m feeling OK and ready to go,’ she said.

‘I had a major stroke and I’ve had to fight my way back. It’s taken me three years and it’s been hard – I’m not going to pretend otherwise – but it’s made me determined to keep going.’

Showing off the cheeky sense of humour she has become famous for, she joked: ‘Ye cannae keep an auld wummin doon!’

With a new documentary, a drama and a cameo role in a Rupert Everett movie all on the horizon, Susan expects the rest of this year to be some of the most exciting months of her life. 

She has even personally selected Oscar-winning actress Olivia Colman to play her on screen, although it is understood her choice is still something of a pipe dream. 

The songstress was catapulted to world stardom by the TV show Britain’s Got Talent 15 years ago.

The album named after her breakthrough song I Dreamed a Dream became the world’s best-seller of 2009.

Ms Boyle also made UK music history by having three successive albums debut at No 1 in less than two years. To date, she has sold 25 million records.

Susan went on to achieve personal highlights such as singing for Pope Francis during the Vatican’s Christmas concert in 2019.

But her world came crashing down in April 2022 when the stroke left her with significant muscular weakness down one side.

Having suffered one stroke, it meant she was vulnerable to another, so her management team had to carefully manage the pace of her return to public life.

There were intensive vocal coaching lessons,which helped restore her speech and singing voice.

Her remarkable recovery should be evident next year when she embarks upon a full schedule of singing engagements and a host of TV and film appearances.

Ms Boyle told STV’s Laura Boyd: ‘There’s a documentary and I’ve got a drama coming up. Hopefully, a tour – my feet won’t touch the ground, really.’

Speaking of the drama that’s in the pipeline, Ms Boyle said: ‘I don’t know who’s going to play me. I’d like Olivia Colman to play me. She’s a laugh as well and she seems like a happy kind of person.’

Ms Boyle is also happy to have landed a cameo in a new Rupert Everett movie due for release next year, proudly explaining: ‘I’m singing the song for it, too.’

Friends say it is lovely to see the star looking and sounding so well after an incredibly difficult period for her.

But they say she is used to handling life-changing moments, none more so than her I Dreamed a Dream moment 15 years ago.

It took her three minutes and 40 seconds to get a standing ovation from the astonished BGT judges, a moment captured on a YouTube video which has 100 million hits

It took her three minutes and 40 seconds to get a standing ovation from the astonished judges, a moment captured on a YouTube video which has 100 million hits.

Yet she only came second on the leading talent show. Recalling the period, she said: ‘It was overnight because one minute I was watching it with my brother, and the next, there were these screaming kids at the door.

‘I opened the door, and they were asking for my autograph.

‘It was a bit of a whirlwind because you never think you’re going to get anywhere, and then all of a sudden, bang!’
