Rumor has it that Susan Boyle has earned herself an hour-long Christmas special on British television.

The Scottish News of the World reports that the international singing sensation will star in her own Christmas spectacular on ITV, the same network that airs “Britain’s Got Talent,” titled “An Audience With Susan Boyle.”

The 48-year-old Scot is set to talk about her life and overnight stardom and perform songs from her debut album, “I Dreamed a Dream,” for a live studio audience packed with her celebrity fans.

"Britain's Got Talent judges Simon Cowell, Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden will definitely want to be there but producers are considering inviting celeb fans like Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher,” a source told the News of the World.

The special TV program is already being tipped as ITV’s biggest ratings smash.

"Already people are calling it the jewel in ITV's crown this Christmas,” the source said. “The show could be screened across the globe and be one of ITV's biggest ever ratings successes.

"Susan's show will be the must-watch program over the festive period."

Boyle’s album, which is a bestseller on Amazon’s pre-sales, is due for a November 23 release.

When the singer, who’s beloved on both sides of the ocean, appeared on “America’s Got Talent” to perform her debut single “Wild Horses,” she pulled in an astounding 20 million U.S. viewers.

I would be thrilled and so happy for Susan. I wish her a long and happy career -- and I for one will be always a devoted fan.
