Susan Boyle has reportedly been lined up to appear on this years X Factor series.

Show bosses are said to want Susan to duet with one of the final acts, which would also mean that she would fill a mentoring spot on the show.

X Factor presenter Dermot O’Leary told The Sun: “Who she’s going to duet with – that’s the fun part.”

He added: “She was brilliant. I think finishing second was probably the best thing that could have happened to her.”

He said: “I think we all need to be ashamed of ourselves in the sense that as a public we all did look at her and go, ‘She’s not good looking, she can’t possibly have a good voice’. I’m glad that she did so well.”
