The Britain's Got Talent final has been and gone! In recent weeks, fans have watched as Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli returned to the judging panel – and it's safe to say they've been impressed. 

After a record year for golden buzzer acts, the contestants finally battled it out on Sunday 2 June with singer Sydnie Christmas taking the crown. Meet the 2024 champion and her fellow finalists here. 

Meet the winner

Sydnie Christmas

Singer Sydnie Christmas was voted the winner of following her heartwrenching rendition of 'Over the Rainbow' from The Wizard of Oz. 

A favourite to win from the get-go, before auditioning for the show, the 28-year-old worked on cruise ships including the Royal Caribbean International. She also appeared in theatre productions, including Starlight Express in Germany and Lazarus at London's King's Cross Theatre.

While fans have been celebrating Sydnie's win, some viewers have suggested that her professional background and work on the West End had given her an unfair advantage over the other contestants.
