Boyle gives Oprah's crew a grand tour of her home

A TELEVISION crew was given an exclusive guided tour of Susan Boyle's house yesterday – for The Oprah Winfrey Show.

Footage from inside her modest council house in Blackburn, West Lothian, will be beamed to millions of viewers across the US when Boyle is interviewed by the queen of American TV.

The US chat show host has had the Scottish spinster on her radar ever since her performance on Britain's Got Talent. And yesterday she began to make good her promise of featuring the Scot by having a camera team film a day in the surprise singing sensation's life.

The crew arrived at around 10:30am and only stopped briefly several hours later saying Boyle was having "an afternoon nap" while they tried to persuade neighbours to be interviewed on camera.

Later they mocked up a "welcome to my house" scene with Boyle ushering the camera crew inside, then spent over an hour going from room to room.

One onlooker said: "Susan was clearly happy to give the American crew an insight into her life. They seem to have an insatiable appetite to know all about her."

Simon Cowell has already said Boyle could crack America and top the album charts. Her appearance on Oprah will be the highlight of a slew of appearances Boyle has already made on US television.
