Did you know Sydnie Christmas was working at a gym just before becoming famous? After years of trying to make it, she was ready to quit the industry. She worked at the front desk of a fitness center to pay the bills because her musical theater career wasn’t working out. Her job was on a zero-hours contract, so she needed the money. She saw Britain’s Got Talent as her very last try.
After her decisive Golden Buzzer moment and eventual win, her life changed overnight. Sydnie earned a huge £250,000 prize and a spot at the Royal Variety Performance. But her busy new schedule meant she still stayed on the gym rota for a while. She was afraid her dream would not last, so she kept her regular job in case it did not.

Her journey is a true story of fighting for what you want. She went from being scared to audition to releasing her own music. She put out her first album, My Way, after her win. It has the songs that told her story, like “Tomorrow” and “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.”
