Susan Boyle will receive an amazing birthday present today – and it’s not even an April fool.

 
The 49-year-old will be stg£4 million pounds richer thanks to a gift from Simon Cowell’s Syco record label.

It’s the first instalment of Subo’s best-selling debut album, I Dreamed A Dream, which was released last November.

It has since become the fastest-selling album in British history, with more than 3.1 million copies bought in its first four weeks.
