Susan Boyle pictured in 2014

Susan Boyle has revealed she has cause for celebration after a “wonderful” development in her recovery after suffering a stroke three years ago.

On Monday evening, the Britain’s Got Talent favourite posted a picture of herself on Instagram in a recording studio, something which she’d been told she “might never achieve again”.

“Today was wonderful, emotional, and everything in between,” she said. “I made my return to the recording studio for the first time in six years, something I was told I might never achieve again. But here we are, in my happy place!”

She added a special message for her manager, Geraldine, for her support “through everything” and “for helping me get back to where I belong”.
