SuBo on the move

Susan Boyle has moved house.

The Scottish singer – who rose to fame on UK TV talent show 'Britain's Got Talent' – has moved out of her council house and into a five-bedroom, £300,000 (€360,000) home in West Lothian.

Fears had been raised for her security in her old house when an intruder was found, leading to plans for her to move into a newer home.

Susan's brother Gerry recently complained the 'I Dreamed A Dream' singer lived on just £300 (€360) a week, despite having sold 8.5 million copies of her debut album and reportedly earned £10m (€12m), meaning she was unable to furnish her new property.

He said: "Her millions are ring-fenced but Susan has no concept of money. She was extremely distressed."

"Susan said to me, 'I've been told I get £300 a week because I'm a novice. I don't have the money to go and buy the furniture.'

"She should be able to walk in the bank anywhere and say she wants £50,000 cash. That may not be advisable, but it would be her choice because it's her money."
