She may have Dreamed a Dream she’d be a famous singer one day, but when Susan Boyle stepped on to the stage of Britain’s Got Talent in 2009, it seemed unlikely. Since then she’s sold 14 million albums and performed all over the world.
This emotional film, made by My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding director Osca Humphreys, follows her during a pivotal point in her life as she works on her new album and touches on how she feels about fame, her fans and her ideal man. Also why she bought the West Lothian council house she grew up in. Simon Cowell is among those who are interviewed about SuBo.
About this programme
Film-maker Osca Humphreys follows the day-to-day life of the singer, from the recording studio to a stadium gig in Shanghai, and asks how she is coping with her fame and fortune. Susan discusses her new album Someone to Watch Over Me with record label boss Simon Cowell and talks candidly about her personal life, while interviews with friends and colleagues help piece together the 2009 Britain's Got Talent runner-up's remarkable success story.
