Scottish singing sensation Susan Boyle, has rejected luxury mansions and is buying shabby council house instead! Reason? Her pet cat Pebbles...
Boyle, 48, is due to get a 100,000-pound first royalty cheque after her debut album 'I Dreamed A Dream" became the most pre-ordered CD ever!
Boyle will use the money to buy a 80,000-pound four-bedroom semi in Blackburn, West Lothian, where she has lived alone with Pebbles since her mother died two years ago.She says that her cat lived there all her life and cats hate upping sticks.
“I'm the wee wifey with the mop and the cat next door. It's what keeps me grounded. And Pebbles would hate to live anywhere posh," says the singer.
Under Scottish housing law, the singer will get a 15,000-pound discount because her family has been the tenant for more than 30 years.
