Singer Susan Boyle will make her film debut alongside 'Les Miserables' star Samantha Barks in an upcoming holiday movie.
Boyle, 51, who found fame as a contestant on 'Britain's Got Talent' in 2009, is currently shooting 'The Christmas Candle', reported Daily Star.
The singer says she is having a blast on set because she gets to dress in costume.
"Everyone on set is a delight to work with and it's a fantastic experience to be part of the team. I'm really enjoying getting dressed in the period costumes and stepping back in time," a statement read.
But Barks, who performed with the cast of 'Les Miserables' at the Oscars, said she is struggling to keep up with the hectic shooting schedule.
"Having just landed from the Academy Awards I had an hour to unpack and repack and get to set. I'm very excited to be part of 'The Christmas Candle' and I'm loving every second," Barks said.
