Britain's Got Talent runner-up Susan Boyle has checked out of London's Priory clinic, where she spent five days being treated for exhaustion and an anxiety attack in the wake of the reality-show loss heard round the world.

The 48-year-old belter has since moved in to her brother's central London pad.

"She's much happier," Gerry Boyle told Britain's GMTV morning show of his superstar sister. "She seems a lot more like herself."

He added that her second-place finish "wasn't the end" of her already stratospheric career—as if there was any doubt.

"Things are becoming clearer for her now. She's now beginning to believe that, 'Yes indeed, I will be a singer.' "

Whether or not she'll be a singer associated with Britain's Got Talent, however, is still in the air.

Producers have yet to confirm whether Boyle is up for joining the show's finalists in the traditional post-show national tour. The performers are set to begin rehearsals in London on Tuesday.

"At this stage we're not saying anything," a spokeswoman for Boyle told the BBC. "Susan is still recovering and we ask to respect her privacy."

The Britain's Got Talent tour kicks off in Birmingham on June 12.
