Boyle wows fans in Talent live show

Susan Boyle has wowed fans during the opening show of TV's Britain's Got Talent live tour.

Following a day of doubts as to whether the troubled singer would perform, she took to the stage belting out hits I Dreamed A Dream and Memory from the musicals Les Miserables and Cats.

During the performance the 48-year-old church volunteers, who shot to fame in the reality television talent contest, blew a kiss to her adoring fans as they screamed and whistled.

She was introduced to the stage by ITV2's Britain's Got More Talent presenter Stephen Mulhern, who described Boyle as being "famous all over the world", adding: "She's so famous even her pet cat Pebbles is famous."

He joked that Pebbles was not able to make the show because she was in Las Vegas.
