Boyle to appear in fashion magazine

Susan Boyle is to pose for a glossy photoshoot with leading fashion magazine Harper's Bazaar.

The interview for September's issue is the latest in Boyle's media assault in the United States.

The Britain's Got Talent runner-up has previously been on a host of American shows, including an appearance alongside chat show queen Oprah Winfrey.

The 48-year-old, who will not grace the cover of the magazine, has had a lower profile since the TV talent show's finale, where she was runner-up to dance group Diversity despite receiving a standing ovation from the audience.

Boyle, who had been the Bookies' favourite to win, had to be taken to the Priory Clinic in central London hours after the show.

Britain's Got Talent judge Piers Morgan said the church worker from Blackburn, West Lothian, was emotionally drained and exhausted.

But she has since returned to the stage. At Wembley Arena last month she received a standing ovation after singing Memories from the musical Cats and I Dreamed A Dream from Les Miserables.

It was her rendition of I Dreamed A Dream during an early round of Britain's Got Talent that led to her stardom. Footage of the unlikely star went around the world leading to media requests in the US.

Harper's Bazaar said it did not comment on forthcoming editorial content, but denied reports that Boyle would be the cover star. But Nicola Phillips, who represents the singer in the UK, said: "There is a photoshoot and interview in the September issue."

Harper's Bazaar has been going since the 19th century and markets itself as a sophisticated women's fashion magazine.
