Susan Boyle to perform on The X Factor!

Britain's Got Talent singing sensation Susan Boyle is set to make her TV comeback later this month - as a guest on The X Factor 2009. Boyle - who finished as runner-up to dance troupe Diversity in the ITV1 show in May - will perform her new single Wild Horses on The X Factor on November 22, according to the News of the World. The show will see her returning to Fountain Studios in Wembley, North London, for the first time since the Britain's Got Talent final. "Simon is very excited about Susan coming back but wants to make sure she excels," a source told the paper. "It's going to be nerve-racking for her being at the very same place where she lost Britain's Got Talent. "The pressure can get to her and he's decided not to sign another big-name act for that night so everything is focused around her." The X Factor finalists will also perform their charity single, a cover of Michael Jackson's You Are Not Alone, that night. Other acts set to appear on The X Factor include Rihanna, Shakira and Lady GaGa, while Boyzone are reportedly in talks to appear.
