Ms Boyle’s Q & A with PEOPLE:
Q: What’s it like having your own television special?
A: It’s a very humbling experience. I loved every second of it. I finally feel like the dream is a reality. When the show was made, I can honestly say that it was the best two days of my life. The producer, Nigel Hall, made me a beautiful show.
