Susan Boyle shows off dance moves as she makes TikTok debut 🙌
Susan nailed her first routine!
If like us you've become obsessed with TikTok during lockdown, you've probably attempted dance routines like Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards and her boyfriend Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, or maybe even tried some Internet hacks like putting Cheerios in a blender to make edible sand.
Or maybe you've just been enjoying all of the hilarious videos on the popular social media site... Well, whatever you use the platform for, one thing that has been proven is that it's popular with people of all ages, whether it's young children or grandparents!
With a number of high-profile celebs posting hilarious videos, the latest to make her TikTok debut is former Britain's Got Talent star Susan Boyle, who has showed off her amazing dance moves whilst spending time with two friends.
The video, which was uploaded to TikTok user Gez Rae's account, shows the Scottish singer performing the popular dance routine to Jawsh 685's hit 'Laxed Siren Beat', and she's certainly still got talent!
Standing in between her two friends as they socially-distance in Susan's back garden, the trio perform the routine which has become very popular on TikTok over the last few months.
Unbelievably it's been a massive 11 years since Susan stunned the judges and audiences around the world when she performed 'I Dreamed A Dream' during her iconic Britain's Got Talent audition.
Despite not actually winning the show, Susan went on to sell millions of records around the world, and she's now estimated to be worth a massive $40 million (£32 million).
The singer, from Blackburn, West Lothian‎, also recently hinted she would be up for taking part in hit BBC show Strictly Come Dancing, revealing she's even been taking dance lessons!
We think she would be amazing on the show! 🙌
