Susan Boyle captured the hearts of music lovers around the world when she first appeared on the third season of “Britain’s Got Talent” over a decade ago.
The video of her first audition when she stood in front of Simon Cowell, shy and unassuming and then blew everyone away with her rendition of “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Misérables has been watched by millions.
Now after over a decade out of the spotlight ‘SuBo’ has undergone an impressive transformation and shares why and how she achieved it.
Susan Boyle told TV judges she was an unemployed charity worker who lived alone with her cat, Pebbles. She later revealed how she’d been bullied as a child and incorrectly diagnosed with a learning disability.
Type 2 diabetes
From her first audition on the TV show she experienced overnight success and went on to sell over 19 million records around the world. Her first album ‘I Dreamed a Dream’ became the UK’s best-selling debut album of all time.
Susan was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and doctors told her it could threaten her ability to perform live, according to an article in the Daily Express.
Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body doesn’t produce enough insulin to function properly, or the body’s cells don’t react to insulin.
Stopped eating cakes
The Scottish singer, who still lives in her childhood home, has been living a healthier lifestyle free of sugar ever since she received the worrying diagnosis.
Susan told The Mirror newspaper at the time: “I need to stop eating sweeties and cakes. It’s the bane of my life.”

She recently revealed she had lost 28 pounds and looks incredible.
“I’m feeling a lot better now. I had moments where I needed help, and I reached out and I got the help I needed,” she told U.K. TV presenter Lorraine Kelly.
‘The ones people tend to ignore’
The singing sensation gave fans a treat in January last year when she appeared on “America’s Got Talent: The Champions.”
She told viewers, “(I’m) a champion for those who don’t have the confidence to do things and don’t have a voice; the ones people tend to ignore. I feel like I’m a champion for them.”

Susan Boyle captured the hearts of millions when she first appeared on Britain’s Got Talent over a decade ago, transforming from an unassuming contestant to an international sensation with her stunning rendition of “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Misérables.

After experiencing overnight success, Boyle went on to sell over 19 million records worldwide, with her debut album, I Dreamed a Dream, becoming the UK’s best-selling debut album of all time. Yet, despite her fame, Boyle faced personal challenges, including a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes, a condition that posed a threat to her singing career.
Type 2 diabetes, which affects how the body processes insulin, forced Boyle to make significant lifestyle changes. She candidly admitted in an interview with The Mirror that sweets and cakes had been a major temptation, calling them “the bane of my life.” However, the diagnosis prompted her to adopt a healthier, sugar-free lifestyle, and she has since lost 28 pounds.
Boyle, who still resides in her childhood home in Scotland, opened up about her journey to better health, sharing with U.K. TV presenter Lorraine Kelly: “I’m feeling a lot better now. I had moments where I needed help, and I reached out and I got the help I needed.” Her transformation is a testament to her resilience and determination, both in her personal life and her career.
In January of last year, Boyle gave fans a heartwarming performance on America’s Got Talent: The Champions. Speaking to viewers, she expressed her desire to be a champion for those who lack confidence and a voice: “I feel like I’m a champion for them.”
With her health in check and her voice still mesmerizing audiences, Susan Boyle continues to inspire millions. Her remarkable journey from a shy, unemployed charity worker to an international singing sensation and advocate for those often overlooked is truly inspirational. Fans are thrilled to see her thriving, and her legacy as a beloved star remains strong.
