Susan Boyle was taken to The Priory shortly after she was placed second in The Britain's Got Talent final
The Britain’s Got Talent runner up and media phenomenon Susan Boyle has left The Priory and is “much happier”, her brother said today.
Ms Boyle was admitted to the London psychiatric clinic after falling ill following ITV talent show's final last weekend.
She is now staying in a central London flat, after five days spent recovering in the clinic, Gerry Boyle told GMTV.
"She's much happier. She seems a lot more like herself,” he said.

Mr Boyle said his sister had spoken to people in the music industry about coming in second after dance group Diversity and they had assured her it "wasn't the end" for her singing career.
"Things are becoming clearer for her now.
"She's now beginning to believe that, 'yes indeed, I will be a singer'," said Mr Boyle.
Ms Boyle, 48, from West Lothian, Scotland, caused a British tabloid frenzy and world-wide media storm after her audition on the show eight weeks ago became a YouTube hit, garnering her a series of famous fans.
Her quiet life in a small town disappeared as she was interviewed by Oprah Winfrey, name-checked by Demi Moore and written into an episode of The Simpsons.
Shortly before last weekend’s final, police intervened after Ms Boyle reportedly swore at journalists who, her publicist said, provoked her.
As pressure mounted, she professed doubts as to whether she could perform in the show’s final, but went ahead, reprising her hit audition song I Dreamed A Dream.
She responded graciously after being beaten by Diversity but later in the weekend police were called to her hotel after she suffered what her brother described as an anxiety attack.
TalkbackThames, which produces Britain's Got Talent, said Boyle was "exhausted and emotionally drained" and was being offered "ongoing support".
Despite criticism of the way Britain’s Got Talent managed Ms Boyle’s health needs, her brother said he would be happy for judge Simon Cowell to steer her career.
"He's been around the dancefloor a few times.
"I'm sure Simon will do a good job for her."
