British singing sensation Susan Boyle will be moving out of her childhood home in Scotland and into a tony apartment in the "wealthy Chelsea area" of London, reports Britain's The Sun. The move could happen as early as this summer.

It's a bit surprising considering Boyle's statements just a few months ago that she had no plans to leave her modest Scottish home because her 11-year-old cat Pebbles wouldn't like relocating. "She's lived there all her life and cats hate upping sticks," Boyle told The News of the World. 48-year-old Boyle is very attached to her cat, and being reunited with Pebbles was the first thing on her mind after she collapsed last year from exhaustion and was admitted to a London clinic.

But then, stalkers were spotted in the yard of Boyle's home in Scotland, and one even entered the home, reports The Sun, adding that executives at her record label -- Simon Cowell's SyCo -- have been pleading with her to move ever since. In a sign that a move to London might have been inevitable, in February, Pebbles was relocated to London to live with an elderly retired accountant who received $9 per day for caring for the cat while Boyle traveled and worked. (Boyle reportedly earned over $7 million dollars last year from sales of her "I Dreamed a Dream" album, which was released in November 2009.)

Just this week, The Sun reported that Boyle's management team was hunting for the perfect London apartment for the songstress and her beloved cat. "She has now agreed to move to a place in the city, where she'll stay when busy working," a source tells The Sun. "The flat will be cat-friendly, so she can take Pebbles too."
