Braveheart SuBo encounters muscle men and pythons at Highland Games

Braveheart SuBo encounters muscle men and pythons at Highland Games

Susan Boyle looks a little wary as she brushes shoulders with a strongman at the West Lothian Highland Games.

The Scottish singer's encounter with competitor Neil Elliott and his 28lb weight wasn't the only time she looked nervous.
The Britain's Got Talent star also braved a photo opportunity with a python at the Games and British Pipe Band Championships.
Boyle is chieftain of the event in Bathgate, which kicked off this weekend.

“This is a brilliant moment for me. I am so very proud to be announcing that I will be performing in my very own tour in the USA. This really is fantastic. The past five years have been incredible and it just keeps getting better. I have spoken so often about wanting to tour America and be able to visit different cities for the first time, I’m so excited. This really will be fantastic and I can’t wait for October. The USA embraced and supported me from the beginning and it really feels like a second home so I can’t wait to get on the road and perform there.”
