Susan Boyle is now working a minimum wage job as a cashier at bookmakers Ladbrokes, it has been reported.
The 52-year-old Britain’s Got Talent runner-up might be worth an estimate Ł20million [US$33.1 million], but according to the staff in the Scottish branch of the bookies, she is on the lookout for a job.
Susan, who has become a world-famous recording artist since her BGT win, read the advert for the cashier position on Thursday afternoon and entered Ladbrokes in Blackburn, Lothian to apply for the role.
Deputy manager David Corr spoke to the singer and later described the shock of staff at seeing Boyle in the shop.
He told The Sun on Sunday: ‘Susan Boyle walked into the shop and inquired about the job advertised in our window. We were all in shock.’
doesn't she have some sort of mental illness? i think i read somewhere...
yeah, that's what I was gonna say. Something like depression.
Good for her though, I mean she may be taking the position from someone who actually does need the money but that might be a needlessly pessimistic way of looking at the situation.
