It's not every day you get to meet the winner of the UK's most popular talent competition.
00:04
Gravesend's Sydney Christmas stole the hearts of TV viewers across Kent
00:08
when she sang her rendition of Tomorrow From Annie in her first audition.
00:18
Before going on to win the whole thing.
00:25
What have these past few months been like for you?
00:26
Crazy. Mental. I feel like a rocket has been set off and I haven't come down yet, which is amazing.
00:35
I mean, you've said in other interviews that Britain's Got Talent was kind of like your
00:39
last shot. I mean, thinking back to that decision to apply and to go for Britain's Got Talent,
00:44
you must be so thankful that you did it.
00:45
I am so thankful that I got brave because I was on and off trying to get on BGT for about
00:52
four years. So you have to go back and forth sending videos and apply and things like that.
00:58
And I kept pulling out the process because I was frightened. And I was like,
01:03
if this goes wrong, this is going to ruin my career.
01:06
And that's when I think I was brave enough to go, well, why not? I've got nothing to lose now.
01:10
I got told I could go in front of the judges. So I was like, OK, got accepted.
01:15
Let's actually do it this time.
01:17
The whole of Kent seemed like they were behind you. They heard you were from Gravesend.
01:20
They heard you could sing amazingly and they saw that golden buzzer
01:23
and they followed you right through to the end. I mean,
01:25
did you expect that much support from your hometown?
01:28
No, absolutely not. So what I can do and give back and say thanks is come home for Christmas,
01:35
come back to Dartford because I'm from Gravesend. So everybody near and far in Kent, come and see us.
01:43
Now, just weeks on from that fateful day, it's back to her home county where she'll
01:47
be performing as Fairy Christmas in this year's Orchard Theatre,
01:51
Dartford pantomime production of Sleeping Beauty.
01:54
Even when I was young, all my friends were getting in panto. I couldn't book it.
02:01
And then the last time I went to a panto audition was about three years ago.
02:05
Then I went back to Starlight and then, yeah, I'm living my panto dream.
02:11
I've ticked it off.
02:11
Yeah, you're giving something back to your younger self as well.
02:13
Absolutely. We've done it, Sid. We've got into a panto.
02:17
The Orchard Theatre West, as it's known, is a temporary theatre,
02:21
preparing to stage its second and hopefully last pantomime before the company moves back
02:26
into the original Orchard West building, which was closed after rack concrete was found last year.
02:32
Kind of supporting the industry as well.
02:33
100%. This is fantastic. This is amazing. I'm so impressed. I think everyone's going to love it.
02:40
I used to go to the Orchard to watch pantos when I was young,
02:44
so it's really good to now be a part of it, the Orchard West, but you know what I mean.
02:51
There's still lots of magic to do before audiences pack in here for some pantomime fun,
02:56
and with an album on the way, plus a Royal Variety performance still to prepare for,
03:01
it's clear the Christmas season has arrived.
03:04
