"Our paths have never crossed and we actually went to the same high school - St Kentigern's Academy. I would be honoured to duet with him and even do a wee comedy sketch. I feel we would have quite a carry-on!"
Susan, who still lives in the council house she grew up in, added: "I have duetted with some incredible artists including Donny Osmond and Andrea Bocelli, they were favourites.
"If I was given an opportunity I'd also love to duet with Josh Groban. I love his voice and I listen to a lot of his records. All of these things are on my bucket list which has now turned into a bath list.
"As you can see, there are still many things I'd love to do and achieve. One of them being I'd love to act in a comedy movie with Adam Sandler."
