Susan Boyle made a rare outing as she enjoyed a getaway in Ireland this week.
The former Britain's Got Talent sensation, 61, made a surprise trip to the Emerald Isle, visiting the Knock House Hotel in Mayo.
Bosses at the hotel shared a picture of the singer on their Facebook page, writing: 'It was our pleasure to welcome Susan Boyle back to Knock House again recently. 
'Susan is a fabulous Lady and we always love to see her return time and time again to Knock House Hotel.

Musical performer Susan rose to international fame after she competed on the third series of Britain's Got Talent in 2009.
She grew up in Blackburn, West Lothian, in Scotland, and while she experienced huge success as a singer, she did not move far from her roots.
Susan still lives in her childhood home after knocking through the wall to the adjoining property next door. 
It comes after Susan's first audition was voted as the most iconic moment in the show's history last year, with 71 per cent of the public agreeing.
The Scottish singer shocked the judges and live audience with her powerful voice when she performed I Dreamed A Dream from Les Miserables.
Judge Piers Morgan said: 'Without a doubt that was the biggest surprise I have had in three years of this show. 
'That was stunning, an incredible performance.

I'm reeling from shock.'
Amanda Holden added: 'I think that's the biggest wake-up call ever. 





Rising to fame: Her audition quickly went viral around the world and she went on to reach the final of the show, coming in second place to dance troupe Diversity (pictured during the Britain's Got Talent live finals in 2009 with show host Declan Donnelly)
