SINGING sensation Susan Boyle wants to perform for the Pope when he visits Scotland. The Britain’s Got Talent winner, a devout Catholic, hopes organisers can make her dream come true when Benedict XVI arrives in September.

Simon Cowel l’s brother and confidante Tony revealed her dream last night. Tony, 59, who has worked closely with SuBo on the Everybody Hurts charity single for Haiti, said: “As Scotland’s first lady, she is the obvious first choice. “It would be a dream come true for her and I know she would drop everything if she was asked to perform for the Pope.”

Susan, 48, has worshipped at Our Lady of Lourdes in Blackburn, West Lothian, since she was a child. She still attends Mass at the church when her busy schedule allows. Parish priest Father Ryszard Holuka said it would be a great honour for the chart topper.

He said: “She is so busy but I’m sure she would love to sing for the Pope.” The Record yesterday broke the news of the first papal visit to Scotland since Pope John Paul II’s historic Mass at Glasgow’s Bellahouston Park in 1982.

Benedict XVI is expected to address thousands of worshippers at an open-air event at Glasgow Green, during his trip on September 16 and 17.

The Vatican have not yet confirmed the visit, though an announcement is due at the end of next month or early March.

It is hoped the prospect of singing for the pontiff will take SuBo’s mind off a burglary bid on her Blackburn home.

SuBo is said to have been “terrified and hysterical” after a prowler broke in on Tuesday night just weeks after a similar disturbance.

Tony said the star was being well looked after by Simon’s team to help her feel more secure.
He added: “She is being cossetted at the moment and we are all delighted to be able to help her out.”
