'Got Talent' star Boyle due on 'Dancing'

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 7 (UPI) -- A representative for Susan Boyle says the "Britain's Got Talent" star has agreed to make a guest appearance on the U.S. TV series "Dancing with the Stars."

The unidentified representative confirmed the 48-year-old Scottish singer, who gained fame for singing "I Dreamed a Dream" on the British talent series in April, will arrive in Los Angeles next week to tape her "Dancing" guest spot, People.com reported Saturday.

The upcoming appearance comes after the singer appeared on "America's Got Talent" in September. The "Dancing" spot also comes weeks before Doyle releases her new album, "I Dreamed a Dream," on Nov. 24.

Boyle's brother, John, told People magazine his sister is excited to leave her home in Blackburn, Scotland, for her U.S. visit.

"She's excited and happy," John Boyle said. "She loves America and loves the people. She appreciates their honesty."
