Boyle eyes visit to Kiwi fans

Singing sensation Susan Boyle is keen to make her first visit to New Zealand.

The Scot, who shot to worldwide fame last year after being discovered on Britain's Got Talent, would love to visit her many fans in New Zealand and Australia, says her brother Gerry.

"It's up to her management but I do hear plans are afoot," he told Australia's Herald Sun.

Boyle, known as SuBo, toured the US late last year and has also performed in Japan and around Europe.

The unlikely star still lives in her council flat in West Lothian, Scotland, but last month had a scare when she discovered intruders in her home.
