Sydnie Christmas had the ultimate birthday gift; opening night as Cruella in 101 Dalmatians on her 30th birthday! In this intimate video message, the Britain’s Got Talent winner shares her overwhelmed reaction to the floral tributes flooding her bedroom, proving even West End stars get giddy over birthday wishes.
The candid clip shows Sydnie in post-show glow, pajama-clad and surrounded by bouquets she jokes turned her room into “a florist.” Her genuine disbelief at the love (“here’s to the next 10 years”) reveals why fans adore her; that same authenticity that made her BGT victory so magical.
Message From Sydnie
Fans flooded comments with “Happy Birthday Cruella!” messages, praising how she stays grounded amid success. Many noted the contrast between her fierce stage presence and this pajama-clad gratitude. One fan wrote: “30 looks like flowers, flustered thank-yous and absolute star power; pure Sydnie!”
This isn’t just deja vu; it’s Sydnie’s magic formula: the same genuine wonder she showed accepting birthday flowers first appeared when 20 million viewers watched her redefine ‘Over the Rainbow’ with tear-inducing sincerity.
