Susan Boyle, the British singer who rose to stardom after wowing the audience at a talent audition 2009, has reportedly opened up to dating and finding herself a possible suitor.
Boyle told The Sun: "I want to find a man but it's hard with all the travelling I do. I really want to start going on dates and I've asked my friends to set me up with a good man - if they can find one.. I'd like to settle down one day."
The 52-year-old will be starring in her first movie, The Christmas Candle, a film in which is has a kissing scene with James Cosmo. The singer also sings a song from the movie's soundtrack.
She talked about her kissing scene with Cosmo: "I had to kiss him, too, as we had a kissing scene. It was my first on-screen kiss. It was lovely. I didn't know about the kissing scene when I signed up, but I wasn't complaining. I won't take this any further in case I embarrass him."
Boyle is scheduled to go on her first live tour shortly. She revealed that she has been eating more fruits and cutting out sweets in order to prepare for the show. "I'm very excited, it's long overdue. I've been on at my manager for some time to let me go live. He kept telling me, 'You're not ready yet,' but this time he feels I am."
Boyle famously sang "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Miserables in Britain's Got Talent in 2009. Her first album was released just a few months afterwards, and debuted at number one, becoming a worldwide bestseller.
She performed at Windsor Castle for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Pageant in 2012.
