There's Only One Susan Boyle, a documentary celebrating the life and career of singer Susan Boyle, will air on BBC One Scotland and iPlayer as part of the festive schedule. The programme will feature an interview with Boyle along with insights from her friends and family.
From viral audition to global fame
Boyle became an overnight sensation when she auditioned for Britain's Got Talent in 2009, singing I Dreamed A Dream from Les Miserables. Her rendition of the song impressed the judges and went viral around the world.
The programme, from Tern TV, will document Boyle's childhood in Blackburn, West Lothian, through to the audition that launched her music career.
Boyle and BBC Scotland share their thoughts
Boyle said: "I'm delighted to be sharing my story in this new documentary with the team at Tern. My life changed overnight after Britain's Got Talent, and it has been an extraordinary and unexpected journey ever since. I hope the programme reminds viewers to stay true to themselves and follow their dreams."
Heather Kane-Darling, commissioning editor, BBC Scotland, said: "Susan Boyle's story is one of the most remarkable and uplifting to come out of Scotland in recent decades. From a small town in West Lothian to stages around the world, her journey has inspired millions. This warm, honest and entertaining portrait of a truly unique Scottish talent will be a festive treat for our audiences."

Boyle's debut album, I Dreamed A Dream, was released in 2009 and went to number one in the UK. She has released a further six albums, with her most recent, A Wonderful World, coming out in 2016.
