"Susan Boyle has signed up to star in a new TV drama. The Britain&amp;#039;s Got Talent star is to play a singing lighthouse keeper in the project, reports The Sun.  Boyle&amp;#039;s agent told the publication: &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s very excited.&amp;quot; The drama has been given the working title Diva and focuses on a girl from the Channel Islands who dreams of stardom. Both ITV and America&amp;#039;s ABC are said to have expressed an interest in the John Stephenson-directed show, which filmed a pilot episode in Edinburgh last month.  Stephenson also helmed Boyle&amp;#039;s movie debut The Christmas Candle last year. The singer appeared as church warden&amp;#039;s wife Eleanor Hopewell in the film, which also starred Les Miserables actress Samantha Barks. Boyle said last year that Meryl Streep had been approached to play her in a planned biopic about the 52-year-old. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
