Middle-aged, dowdy, with thick eyebrows and an unfortunate gait, she couldn’t have looked less like a star.
But Susan Boyle may be the surprise winner of Britain’s Got Talent after she stunned Simon Cowell with her remarkable voice.
Unemployed and single, the 48-year-old has thick unkempt hair, bushy eyebrows and downy fuzz is noticeable across parts of her face.
Never been kissed: Britain's Got Talent singing sensation Susan Boyle
Surprise: Susan left the audience speechless with her amazing performance
Miss Boyle told presenters Ant and Dec that she lived alone with just her cat Pebbles for company. She said: ‘I’ve never had a boyfriend. I’ve never even been kissed.’
She then stomped across the stage and began clumsily gyrating her hips towards the judges, prompting laughter from the audience.
Speechless: The surprise reaction to Susan brought back memories of 2007 singing sensation Paul Potts (above)
A smirking Cowell asked her who she would like to emulate - to which she replied Elaine Paige.
‘I would love to be in musical theatre. I have just never had the opportunity,’ said Miss Boyle, who is from West Lothian in Scotland.
Moments later, the music mogul and fellow judges Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan were left speechless by her powerful rendition of I Dreamed A Dream from Les Miserables.
Miss Holden appeared close to tears as she sang, while Cowell looked almost adoring.
The audience gave the singer a standing ovation and cheered as she finished the song.
The turnaround was reminiscent of mobile phone salesman Paul Potts'
