Glee creator Ryan Murphy has confirmed that Susan Boyle is being lined up for a guest role in the show's second season.

BBC News reports that Murphy revealed that the Britain's Got Talent runner-up would feature in the show's Christmas episode, reportedly as a dinner lady.

He also confirmed that former Beatle Paul McCartney's music would be featured after the singer wrote to him.

"I received some fantastic mixed tapes from Paul McCartney a couple of weeks ago," he said. "I thought I was being punked!

"It came out of blue in a package, handwritten, and it had two CDs and it said 'Hi Ryan, I hope you will consider some of these songs for Glee'."

He added: "I had heard that he is a fan of the show. I was gob-smacked, so of course we are going to do something with him,"
