Susan Boyle has revealed she wants to become a mum at the age of 58.
The singer and Britain's Got Talent superstar has plans to be a foster mum to young Scottish kids once her career settles down.
It comes after she was told she is unable to adopt children at her age.
The I Dreamed A Dream star, from West Lothian, said she is still loving life 10 years after making the big time on BGT .
Speaking on a new episode of the Dan Dan Wooten podcast, she says: "When things quieten down a bit I would like to get into fostering.
"I’m 58 so I’ve got something to bring my family home to. I’ve a lovely house, why not share it?
"I’ve got a couple who think the world of me. I love kids. I’ve never had any of my own, that’s my biggest regret, but I love kids. They’re good fun to be with.
"I am happy. I am loving every minute, loving life and bring on the rest.”
SuBo said she has never had a romantic relationship of note, but hopes to become a regular foster parent when she decides to retire from the music industry.
Susan become an overnight sensation thanks to her show-stopping version of I Dreamed A Dream from Les Miserables.
Going on to sell over 25million albums worldwide and worth £22million, Susan, 58, is back to making music after taking time out of the industry.
She’s just had a successful stint on America's Got Talent, Champion of Champions which saw top names from the show’s US spin-off battle it out for fans.
In 2012 she was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome after being told she had learning learning disability due to a lack of oxygen at birth.
Asperger's is a form of autism which typically means people with the condition struggle with their emotions and have difficulty in social situations, often unable to pick up on non-verbal cues.
Speaking about the misdiagnosis, she said: "When I first began there was rumours that I had brain damage at birth.
"That implies it was more serious.
"It wasn’t as serious as I thought and it was a great relief to me to find I was aspergic.
"It’s not something that should hold anyone back. Disability could be ability. I can turn that right on its head and make it positive. There are so many different degrees of it as well.
"The particular nurturing that I’ve had, that counteracts it a wee bit. I think there’s a lot of fear attached with the label pencil.
"Once you get those barriers down it becomes less of a fear and people want to talk about it and help each other."
