Britain's Got Talent star Susan Boyle is set to make a special guest appearance on The X Factor, it's been reported.

Bosses are said to want the 48-year-old Scottish singing sensation to perform live in November to promote her new album.

“It makes perfect sense and will create a big buzz,” a source told the Daily Mirror.

Boyle wowed fans in the US earlier this month when she performed on America's Got Talent.

As previously reported on Entertainmentwise, Robbie Williams has already been confirmed as a special guest on the new series of The X Factor.

Previous winners, including last year's champion Alexandra Burke, are also due to appear.
