The Britain's Got Talent winner has opened up on this year's competition.
Britain's Got Talent champion Sydnie Christmas has shared her enthusiasm for a particularly touching act in this year's contest.
The 29-year-old vocalist, who seized the BGT title in 2024, joined the hosts of ITV's Loose Women to discuss her flourishing career and reflect on her success on the show last year.
When the conversation turned to the fresh talent gracing the stage this season, Sydnie singled out one act that moved her considerably.
On the show, she conveyed to the panel: "There's a young little boy that has caught my heart who plays a guitar and he plays that guitar like that guitar was his life and that's exactly how I feel singing.
"He's got something special about him," she went on. "Olly, he's caught me, he's got star quality," expressing her affection by saying: "That little boy caught my heart."
Olly, an 11-year-old prodigious musician from Wrexham, quickly became a standout after his Britain's Got Talent live semi-final performance last week, not only won hearts but also secured a second golden buzzer for the young star, reports Belfast Live.
The aspiring artist discussed his remarkable achievement with The Leader, sharing his astonishment at the recognition he's received: "I still can't believe it."
With each act in his semi-final shining, Olly was deeply honoured by Simon's decision to bestow upon him the coveted Golden Buzzer, stating: "Every act in my semi final was brilliant so for Simon to pick me for his Golden Buzzer was amazing."
He carefully articulated his performance strategy, detailing his focus on engaging different elements of the show as he continued: "I practiced three things: the audience at home by looking into the camera, the judges and finally the crowd in the theatre.
"The crowd were amazing and I could hear them singing and shouting even through my earpieces. It was brilliant! I love playing to crowds that sing along.
"All my friends say they loved me pulling my tongue out at the camera! Think the judges liked my performance too!"
He conveyed his aspirations of making his family proud as he sailed into the final, stating: "As a family we have always watched BGT and now to be part of it is just amazing. I still can't believe it. Getting to the final is the best feeling and I want to make everyone proud."
Britain's Got Talent airs Saturday at 7pm on ITV1.
