ITV ‘lines up one of Britain’s Got Talent’s biggest stars for its annual Christmas bash’

ITV’s big Christmas bash is reportedly set to star one of Britain’s Got Talent’s biggest stars. 

Show bosses are keeping in theme for the 2024 festive season as they have lined up BGT’s 2024 winner, Sydnie Christmas to be at the forefront of their December, 25 schedule, according to the Sun.

The competition winner is believed to have landed her own dedicated show which will see the singing sensation perform an array of festive favourites and her very own Christmas track. 

A TV insider told the publication: ‘Sydnie could become ITV’s very own Mariah Carey.

‘Her team have been in talks with top execs about making a show for Christmas Day, like an old school variety special.

‘Her name obviously lends itself to Christmas so it would be a blockbuster festive spectacular.’

Last year, ITV aired festive specials of The Masked Singer on Christmas Day, as well as soaps Coronation Street and Emmerdale.

But ITV lost out to the BBC in the annual ratings battle, as the beep featured Strictly and Doctor Who specials.

Christmas came early for Sydnie in June when she was awarded £250,000 after winning BGT with her rendition of Somewhere Over The Rainbow.

The former PT became the show’s favourite after judge Amanda Holden pressed her Golden Buzzer to guarantee the singer a place in the live shows.

ITV will be staging her talents once again on the Royal Variety Performance, which will air later this year – part of her prize for being crowned champion.

Earlier this month, Sydnie released her first single Starlight Express ahead of her upcoming album, My Way, which will be available in late September.

The body of work will feature tracks Over The Rainbow, My Way, and Tomorrow, paying homage to Sydnie’s spellbinding auditions.

She is preparing to embark on her very first tour, where she will perform 15 dates across the country in October, kicking off in Gateshead and concluding in Liverpool.

Speaking about her apprehensions ahead of the live shows, Sydnie said: ‘I have never done anything like this before so this will be a first. I’m hoping it goes very well, I’m praying it goes well.

‘I’ll try and show everybody to the best of my ability who I am and that’s really my only story with this tour so I’m hoping it goes really well… I am terrified and excited.

‘I feel under massive pressure as the Britain’s Got Talent winner. It’s hard to believe that people are going to buy tickets. 

‘That’s my insecure side, I’m worrying about it. 

‘I still can’t believe people liked what I did and voted and it’s the same thing, I can’t believe people would spend their hard-earned money on tickets. I hope they do and come and see the show and continue this journey.’
