Susan Boyle cements her position as a superstar by appearing on Oprah

Susan Boyle is to cement her reputation as one of the showbusiness world's biggest stars by heading to the US to appear on The Oprah Winfrey Show next week.


Miss Boyle, 48, is flying out to Chicago on Tuesday. She will then appear on the show the following day.

A US source revealed: ‘Oprah bosses have been really keen to get Susan on. America has gone Susan Boyle crazy and as US TV’s biggest show, it makes sense for her to appear.

'It just goes to show what a huge star Susan Boyle has now become in America.’

The source continued: 'Susan is really looking forward to appearing as well. She can’t wait.’

Miss Boyle made a guest appearance on the show by satellite last May. But this will be the first time she has been invited to the studio, which shows just how big a star she has become.

She will perform and answer a number of questions on the show. Yesterday evening it had not been decided exactly what song she would sing.

Oprah, as the show is more commonly known, is the highest-rated talk show in American TV history, with new shows averaging 18.5 million viewers and even repeats drawing an average of 14.5 million viewers.

In 2005, Tom Cruise famously proposed to Katie Holmes on the show. While in 1993, the late Michael Jackson revealed he suffered from the skin-pigment disorder known as vitiligo on the show.

The appearance is just the latest milestone in the increasingly astonishing story of Miss Boyle, from Blackburn, East Lothian, who still shares her home with Pebbles her beloved cat.

Last April, she performed I Dreamed A Dream on Britain’s Got Talent and became an overnight international sensation.

Since then she has topped both the US and American album chart, securing the biggest-selling album in Britain last year and the biggest-selling debut in the US by a solo female. In total, she has sold more than six million copies of her debut album.

The trip comes just days after Miss Boyle launched her own on-line shop, selling clothes and handbags.

The most bizarre garment on offer is a red hoodie for £34.99.

There are also a series of T-shirts.

Some feature song titles made famous by Miss Boyle; others have pictures of her face while some feature Miss Boyle’s beloved friend Pebbles, who may well now be Britain’s most famous cat.
