Britain’s Got Talent winner Sydnie Christmas says semi-finalist has ‘caught my heart’

Britain’s Got Talent winner Sydnie Christmas has opened up about this year’s competition.

Britain’s Got Talent sensation Sydnie Christmas has opened up about a young musician who has tugged at her heartstrings in this year’s contest.

The 29-year-old songstress, who clinched the BGT title in 2024, graced ITV’s Loose Women with her presence to chat about her career and last year’s triumphant win on the talent show.

Discussing the current crop of contestants, Sydnie singled out one act that particularly resonated with her.

Speaking to the Loose Women hosts, she revealed: “There’s a young little boy that has caught my heart who plays a guitar and he plays that guitar like that guitar was his life and that’s exactly how I feel singing.”

She continued, praising the youngster: “Olly, he’s caught me, he’s got star quality.” Before confessing: “That little boy caught my heart.”

Olly, an 11-year-old from Wrexham, has been riding a wave of success since his Britain’s Got Talent live semi-final performance last week, which snagged him a second golden buzzer, reports Belfast Live.

Now in the running for a spot at the Royal Variety show and a hefty £250,000 prize, Olly spoke with The Leader about his astonishment at the golden buzzer victory, saying: “I still can’t believe it.”

He humbly added: “Every act in my semi final was brilliant so for Simon to pick me for his Golden Buzzer was amazing.”

Olly also shared his performance strategy, saying: “I practiced three things: the audience at home by looking into the camera, the judges and finally the crowd in the theatre.

“The crowd’s energy was electric, and I could hear their cheers and singing even with my earpieces in – it was incredible! I love performing for audiences that join in and sing along.

“All my friends say they loved me pulling my tongue out at the camera! Think the judges liked my performance too!”

The rising star also shared that he longed to make his family proud after sailing his way into the final.

He added: “As a family we have always watched BGT and now to be part of it is just amazing. I still can’t believe it. Getting to the final is the best feeling and I want to make everyone proud.”

Britain’s Got Talent airs Saturday at 7pm on ITV1.
