Susan Boyle delighted fans when she resurfaced online last month, debuting a glamorous blonde hair transformation.
The BGT icon, who memorably placed runner-up to dance troupe Diversity on the 2009 edition of Simon Cowell’s flagship talent show, has been more active on social media since then, taking to Instagram this week to share an update about her fun-filled barbecue with friends in her hometown of West Lothian, Scotland.
The I Dreamed a Dream singer, 64, was pictured working her magic on the grill, rustling up some burgers and bangers for her pals while sipping on a glass of prosecco.
Embracing the sunshine in a blue and white striped linen dress and a chic sunhat, Susan looked happy and healthy.
She wrote: "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 Britain's Got Talent legend doesn’t often share insights into her personal life, preferring to keep the topics to her music career.
Susan remains the show's richest star, worth around £40 million, and has released a total of eight albums.

Though she bought a £300,000 new-build detached five-bedroom house on the other end of town in 2010, she struggled to settle down there and moved back to her first home.

"I've had the kitchen done, the living room papered, the floors done and a summerhouse put out the back."
