Susan Boyle parties in luxury dream home

WITH a warm embrace and a smile, singer Susan Boyle welcomed visitors to her new home.

The Britain's Got Talent runner-up invited close friends and family for a house warming party on Saturday night after moving into the five-bedroom house in West Lothian.

The new 300,000 property in her home town of Blackburn is a substantial upgrade on her previous home, a modest council house in the town. It boasts a luxury kitchen, three bathrooms, a double garage and solar panels.

Boyle has enjoyed huge success since her Britain's Got Talent audition in April 2009.

Since then, her debut album I Dreamed A Dream has been named the fastest selling album by a UK female and also the most successful first week's sale of a UK debut album by the Guinness Book of Records.
