SEE PIC Susan Boyle turned into doll

Britain’s Got Talent star immortalised in plastic by US fan

Britain's Got Talent star Susan Boyle has been dubbed the Hairy Angel

Susan Boyle has had her own doll created in her honour.

Debbie Ritter, from Illinois, uses clothes pegs, wire and clay to make the 4in models of the Britain's Got Talent star.

The figurines, which cost from £14, are based on Susan’s infamous first audition and come complete with her bushy eyebrows and curly hair.

‘When I first saw Susan on television I just fell in love with her and when I heard her voice I had stars in my eyes,’ Debbie, 46 - who has also made a Paul Potts doll - tells the Daily Star.

‘It’s a lot of work and each doll takes at least a couple of hours. It’s more of a hobby than a job for me. It’s painstaking work and you need small fingers.

‘I have watched her video literally a thousand times. I love the fact she is so down to earth and there is nothing fake about her.’

Susan, 48, is through to the live semi-finals.
