On Sunday night, Sydnie made history as the first female singer to be crowned BGT champion, having got off to a big start in the competition when she became Amanda Holden’s “Golden Buzzer” act during the initial auditions.
In a new interview with Metro, Sydnie claimed this speculation was “just not true”, adding: “There’s nothing that breaks my heart more than to see [the doubt].”
She continued: “It makes me feel really crappy. It’s soul-destroying but there’s nothing I can do to change their minds so I’ve had to separate myself.
“I’d love to speak to them but they are so angry so there’s nothing more I can do.”
HuffPost UK has also contacted Britain’s Got Talent for comment.
“I’m very proud to have done it for the girls,” Sydnie added to Metro. “This win is for the girls; how magical to represent all of us ladies.”
