Musical child: Susan always loved singing
The Scottish spinster, who lives with her cat Pebbles, said she was 'much better looking' than Paul Potts, a previous winner.
Her rendition of I Dreamed a Dream from the musical Les Miserables made her the red-hot favourite to walk away with the television programme's £100,000 prize, and she was asked if Cowell had offered her a deal yet.
She said she had been for a meeting with music label Sony BMG but added: 'I can't comment on that at the moment.'
Boyle said she would be very humbled to perform in front of the Queen at the Royal Variety Performance.
She said: 'It’s my ambition to sing in front of the Queen.
'She's a very beautiful lady.
'But I’m doing all this as a tribute to my Mum. If she could see me now, she’d be very proud.'
