Susan Boyle, who has multi-million dollar fortune from singing, has reportedly applied for a minimum wage job at a betting shop near her house.

Boyle shot to fame after appearing on 'Britain's Got Talent' in 2009 and has now enquired about the job at Ladbrokes in Blackburn, West Lothian, reported Daily Mirror.

"Susan Boyle walked into the shop and enquired about the job advertised in our window. We were all in shock," said deputy shop manager David Corr.

A customer who was in the shop added, "She explained she was really keen on working there and everyone knows who she is and that she lives nearby. The manager laughed at first. But it was clear she was being serious and they couldn't just dismiss her so gave her all the information."
 

The shop offered 6.31 pound sterling per hour with 16-hour term a week for the customer service assistant job. The pay will rise to 6.45 pound sterling after the training is completed.

The 52-year-old singer reportedly also applied for a job at the shop before she got famous on Britain's Got Talent in 2009.
