Talk show queen uses subtitles so US viewers understand BGT star
Britain's Got Talent superstar Susan Boyle was subtitled by US TV bosses when she appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show so viewers could understand her.
A production crew from the daytime talk show were given a tour by Boyle round her home and her Blackburn, West Lothian neighbourhood.
The segment appeared with subtitles on screen for Boyle's utterances, but were dropped when she later spoke live to Oprah.
She told chat show queen that instant fame was "like a dream come true".
Judge Simon Cowell also appeared on the show and described Boyle's performance as "one of my favourite moments."
