Britain's Got Talent star Sydnie Christmas reveals 'soul destroying' struggle to make it as a singer and admits baring her 'vulnerable' side on stage inspired Amanda Holden to press the Golden Buzzer


Britain's Got Talent star Sydnie Christmas revealed the 'soul destroying' struggle she has endured to make it as a singer before finally getting her big break on the ITV show.

The gym receptionist, 28, from Kent wowed Simon Cowell with her rendition of Tomorrow on Saturday night and the music boss admitted Sydnie had even made him suddenly like the Annie show tune. And to receive praise from Simon and Amanda, as well as Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli, was a life changing moment for Sydnie, who has spent her entire career doubting she was taking the right path following years of painful rejection. After graduating from D&B Academy of Performing Arts in London nine years ago, Sydnie has worked on cruise ships including the Royal Caribbean International where she starred as Rizzo in Grease, as well as featuring in show Starlight Express.
