She has received an honorary doctorate, performed for Pope Benedict XVI and wowed audiences in Las Vegas.\n But the pressures of performing have sometimes overwhelmed her, and she was treated for nervous exhaustion after her \u201cBritain\u2019s Got Talent\u201d run focused national attention on her.\n Boyle told The Sun newspaper that the doctor she met in the U.S. was a \u201cperfect gentleman\u201d and that they enjoyed each other\u2019s company. She said the relationship was in \u201cearly days,\u201d but she hopes he will visit her in Scotland.\n The singer was diagnosed last year with Asperger\u2019s syndrome, a form of autism, and had learning disabilities as a child.\n Susan Boyle is by the far the biggest name to emerge from Simon Cowell\u2019s hit TV show Britain\u2019s Got Talent.\n The West Lothian singer wowed Simon and his fellow judges Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden on the third series of the show when she appeared back in 2019, reports RSPV LIVE.\n The judges and studio audience, as well as the viewers at home, were left gobsmacked following her haunting performance of I Dreamed a Dream from the hit musical Les Mis\u00e9rables.\n However, the Scotland native finished second that year, losing in the final to dance troupe Diversity.\n Here, we take a look at what Susan, now aged 61, has been up to since her time on the show after she loved up about her relationships and weight loss.\n Susan met an American doctor while she was on tour and they hit it off and started a romantic relationship.\n However, she kept his name out of the media and they were never photographed together.\n She told The Mirror: \u201cI don\u2019t want to reveal the doctor\u2019s name. It\u2019s nothing serious at the moment. I will send him a picture of my weight loss \u2013 if he\u2019s a good boy! I do enjoy male companionship.\n \u201cI would love to adopt a child too but my cat might get jealous. I don\u2019t want to see a cat and a baby fighting. It\u2019s something I might do later.\u201d\n She also said in another interview: \u201cI don\u2019t want to say any more about who he is right now as that would be unfair on him. All I\u2019ll say is we are around the same age and he was a very nice guy.\u201d\n Speaking about her love affair afterwards, she said: \u201cI did have a gentleman friend, a doctor.\n \u201cWe went for lunch but I didn\u2019t tell anyone.\n \u201cBut if I had a man friend it would be purely platonic \u2013 I\u2019ve been on my own too long now to get married.\u201d\n In the past, Susan had plans to become a foster mum because was not able to adopt, given her age.\n \u201cI\u2019ve a lovely house, why not share it?\n \u201cI love children,\u201d she told Lady Magazine.\n \u201cI\u2019ve never had any of my own, that\u2019s my biggest regret.\u201d\n In a February 2020, Susan confessed that her last date was six years ago.\n She said: \u201cI had a date in America six years ago, which lasted exactly 45 minutes.\u201d\n Weight loss after Britain\u2019s Got Talent She also shared that she had been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes four years previously.\n The singer said: \u201cI needed to stop eating sweeties and cakes.
