It's been a whirlwind 12 months for Sydnie Christmas

Speaking to me exactly a year after she auditioned for Britain's Got Talent, Sydnie is already preparing to head out on her first tour.

Since taking the ITV contest by storm, the 29-year-old has released her first album My Way, performed for King Charles at the Royal Variety Performance and found herself schmoozing in LA with Michael Buble and Jennifer Hudson.

But despite living the dream, Sydnie insists her feet are still firmly on the ground. She tells me: "I don't get noticed, ever. I get on the Tube and no one bats an eyelid. I'm not that famous!

"I was out with Harry Clark and Paul Gorton from The Traitors last summer - they're my friends.

"Everyone recognised them, but not me. They thought that I was their manager."
