Susan Boyle takes dance lessons in bid for celebrity spot on Strictly Come Dancing
SUSAN Boyle has taken dance lessons in the hope of waltzing her way on to Strictly Come Dancing — and she hasn’t ruled out a surprise appearance on The Masked Singer.
The Scot was rumoured to have been Octopus on the ITV sensation before it was revealed opera singer Katherine Jenkins was wearing the cephalopod costume.
But Susan — whose Ten tour kicks off next month — admits she would like to add to her TV talent show appearances after shooting to worldwide fame on Britain’s Got Talent.
The 58-year-old said: “Someone suggested I would be good on Strictly Come Dancing. Yeah, I would like that. I’ve got some moves. I’ve been taking dance lessons.
I also watched The Masked Singer. There were rumours I was also the Daisy as well — I like to keep people guessing.”
Asked outright whether she has been approached by ITV to appear in a future series of the smash-hit show, she said: “It would be a strange feeling performing inside a costume.
“But I’m not committing myself to anything else at the moment because of my tour.”
However, she knows which shows she definitely won’t be appearing on any time soon.
She added: “I don’t fancy I’m A Celebrity because I wouldn’t know what I was eating. And I’m not going on Love Island either.”
The singer from Blackburn, West Lothian, yesterday returned to the stage at Glasgow’s SEC Armadillo where it all began for her.
Her breathtaking performance of I Dreamed A Dream from the musical Les Miserables turned her into an overnight superstar.
But she admits looking back at her audition, where she left telly judges Piers Morgan, Amanda Holden and Simon Cowell as stunned as the Scots crowd, leaves her cringing — because of her clobber.
She said: “When I watch that now I think, ‘Who the heck dressed her?’
“The dress, the tights, the white shoes — holy baloney. I had got dressed in a hurry.
“That dress has remained at the back of my wardrobe. I haven’t had it back on since as it’s too big now as I’ve lost an awful lot of weight — I must have gone on stage in a tent.”
And she recalls the fateful day as if it was only yesterday when her three- bus journey led her to her destiny.
She said: “It’s deja vu coming back here. It’s a bit creepy really because I was quite frightened at the time.
“I remember what that day was like alright as it took me a long time to get there. I needed to get three buses for a start. Then when I asked for directions it would be, ‘It’s just over that road, hen.’
“So I would cross the road then someone else would tell me, ‘Nah, nah hen, you’re at the wrong bit.’ I was like ‘Where am I?’
“I was called for half past nine but knew I’d never make it for that time, so by the time I got here it was well past 10. I thought I had missed my chance. But they were good and told me to wait until the next slot
“When I performed, the reaction from the audience spoke for itself.
“I was shocked but pleased. I was very emotional.”
But SuBo — as she became known — had no idea how life- changing that August 2008 audition would be until it was eventually broadcast on April 11, 2009.
She said: “I heard banging on the door and all these kids were in the street to see me. I figured I must have done something right.”
