Sydnie Christmas has returned to her normal job despite winning . The 28-year-old singer dazzled Simon Cowell and the judges on the latest series of the talent show. In the finale, she stunned with her rendition of Over The Rainbow and became the first ever solo woman to win the show without a dog routine.
She's pocketed £250,000 and earned a spot in the Royal Variety Performance this year. However, she's still working at her local gym and is yet to quit her job. She told The Sun: "I did my audition and went back to work in the gym.
funnily enough, I am still on the rota. I need to go in for a meeting and say I definitely can’t work now." It's clear Sydnie will need more time to focus on her music career.
She has an album in the works and will kick off her My Way tour in Gateshead on October 5 before 15 more UK dates in places such as London, Nottingham, Liverpool and Sheffield. The singer, who has just released her new single Starlight Express, also revealed that she's moved back in with her parents in Kent to save money on rent. Sydnie also admitted she didn't know what a rider was, a sign she's still down-to-earth despite her success.
She previously said she was planning on retuning to her day job despite the outcome of the final. Before winning, she told the Mirror: "I’ve already had two weeks off – and I’m on a zero-hours contract. I have rent to pay! She told the outlet: "When I got told about the tour, I thought I was just going to be someone’s warm-up.
When.
