Dancing On Ice judge and West End star Ruthie Henshall has become the latest in a long line of celebrity supporters of Susan Boyle.

Ruthie has played leading ladies in shows such as Oliver!, Chicago and Les Miserables, where she sang I Dreamed A Dream, the song Susan sang in her Britain’s Got Talent audition.

Ruthie told The Mirror: “I absolutely think Susan has a West End-standard voice. Definitely. Her dreams can come true.

“But to be in a musical she needs to be able to act as well. She’s got to make people believe what she’s singing. If she can act, no problem.

“Any producer would jump at the chance to have her. They’d make so much money out of her as her profile would guarantee bums on seats.”
