Susan Boyle has told how she suffered a minor stroke during an emotional return to Britain's Got Talent.
The Scots singer admitted her guest performance in tonight's final was extra special, as she feared she would never sing again after suffering a stroke last April.
Boyle, 62, took to the stage to sing I Dreamed a Dream, the very song she performed to the judges back in 2009, but after the performance she told hosts Ant and Dec of her health struggles.
Declan Donnelly asked her: "How does it feel to be back on Britain's Got Talent?"
Susan smiled and said: "It feels great! It's extra special for me actually because last April there I suffered a minor stroke and I thought it would be crazy to be back on stage and I have done it!"
Ant then said: "Did you? We're sorry to hear that, you're very brave! Simon lovely to see her back on stage isn't it?"
And Simon replied: "Unbelievable, Susan we owe you so much and I knew you weren't well but if anyone was going to come back you were going to come back because we wouldn't be the same without you! You are amazing."
Dec then added: "It's great to see you and it's great to have you back home!"
Susan sang during tonight's final with the cast of Les Misérables and performed the song I Dreamed A Dream, which shot her to fame back in 2009.
She made it all the way through to the show's finals, where she was narrowly missed out on the top prize to dance group Diversity.
The singer went on to release her own album, which became the UK’s best-selling record of all time.
The Scottish singer blew away fans of the show with her powerful voice and has been a star ever since, however has kept her private life largely out of the spotlight.
