She said: "I'm borderline trendy, really. I've always worn frocks, but I'd like to wear a suit if I could. Yes, I love dressing up and having my hair and nails done. I'm a woman."

Susan - who shot to worldwide fame when she auditioned for UK TV show 'Britain's Got Talent' in 2009 - also says she likes to show off her fun personality when's she's in public, while remaining shy in private.

She told Britain's Hello! magazine: "I'm a bit of a show-off, a bit outrageous and enjoy making people laugh. That's the public Susan. The private me is shy. I like the split between my two lives. I keep myself grounded by switching off as soon as I get home. But I'm not a diva; my parents taught me manners."
