Susan Boyle ' I long for someone to watch over me'

Susan Boyle is desperate to find a boyfriend.
The Enjoy the Silence singer has only had one romance in her lifetime, almost thirty years ago, and admits her quest for a man hasn’t improved with her fame.
The only guy Susan really has a crush on is singer Donny Osmond, who is married to Debra Glenn.
“I’m on my own quite a lot and that special person hasn’t come along yet. I’ve had a few offers in the post and, let me tell you, some of them are beauties,” Susan said.
“And some of the photographs I’ve been sent oh my God! Let’s just say they were not suitable for me. Only Donny Osmond has really caught my eye but he’s spoken for.”
The 50-year-old star — who was catapulted into the limelight in 2009 after appearing on Britain’s Got Talent – lives with her cat Pebbles, but her success has meant she is less shy than she used to be.
“It’s made me grow up a bit, it’s made me more confident and sociable. I was painfully shy before but now it’s getting to the stage where people can’t shut me up,” she added.
“Sometimes you have periods of self-doubt where you think you’re not worthy of all this and retreat into yourself. But I think I now know how to cope with the pressure better than two years ago. I’ve had a bit of a blip now and again but you learn and become better at what you do.”
However, Susan has found it hard to leave her old life behind, and despite buying a $600,000 property near to the house where she grew up in West Lothian, Scotland, she finds it too “posh” and prefers to stay in her childhood home, a small former council owned dwelling.
“I’ve got two houses, the council house and the new one. But I like my mother’s house. It’s where I started. I want to be in my own community, in my mother’s house. The posh house gets used for rehearsing and that’s about it,” she added.
