Britain’s Got Talent’s Sydnie Christmas will return to normal job

Sydnie Christmas is a front runner for Sunday’s final of Britain’s Got Talent after she blew the judges away with her incredible semi final performance. 

However, even if she bags herself the £250,000 prize money, the singer has insisted she will return to her normal job at the gym. 

Speaking to The Mirror, the Sydnie, 28, revealed she will be going to into work on Monday morning no matter the result as she needs the money. 

She joked: ‘I’ve already had two weeks off – and I’m on a zero-hours contract. I have rent to pay!’

Sydnie, who grew up Kent who grew up playing rugby, has always dreamed of being a West End star and she hopes BGT is the beginning of that journey for her.

‘In a year’s time, I hope I’m living my dream. I want to be doing what I love for a living instead of rolling towels and making shakes!’ 

Sydnie won the third live semi-final show on Wednesday after receiving a standing ovation from the whole of the audience after singing her version of Frank Sinatra’s My Way.

Judge Amanda Holden was bought to tears, while Simon Cowell, Bruno Tonioli and Alesha Dixon were in utter awe of her talent.

Revealing just how nervous she was she admitted: ‘My voice coach had to walk me on to the stage because I was so nervous. I’m very happy it didn’t look that way because I was terrified.’

After her performance, all four judges were quickly up on their feet to applaud Sydnie.

Amanda said: ‘I have to sit down, I thought I was going to pass out during that. Honestly, Sydnie when we saw your audition I had so many people come up and stop me.

‘And tonight you have done even better, I just cannot believe your capacity and your fire and your strength.’

Bruno added: ‘I cannot believe it. The way she builds up to the high note, hitting it with such power and clarity. It was stunning, stunning.’

Alesha: ‘My heart was pounding the whole way through that. That is the job of a singer, you are a superstar in the making’

It was just, it wasn’t a 10, it was an 11 in my opinion. If it wasn’t for people like you, I wouldn’t bother making this show.

‘And you have to wonder who were these idiots you auditioned for that didn’t give you the break before, they must be did. The only people you need to trust is the audience, the audience always get it right.’

Fans also loved the performance as they took to Twitter writing: ‘Sydnie Christmas is gonna win this years #BGT… It’s obvious #BritainsGotTalent’
