She told Winfrey she did not think she could outdo her talented rivals on the show. She joked her beloved cat, Pebbles, would be a bigger star that she is once given the same international exposure.
She told Winfrey that, despite her spinster lifestyle, she does not view herself as lonely.
"Everyone has been so nice," Boyle said, according to The Daily Star. "I've got millions of new friends now."
