Britain's Got Talent's Sydnie Christmas had a lot to celebrate on Sunday night after being crowned the winner of the ITV competition.
The singer was given the Golden Buzzer when she auditioned with a gorgeous rendition of the hit song Tomorrow from the musical Annie. Head judge Simon Cowell, who previously despised the song, praised her vocal skills and admitted he became a big fan of the track thanks to her performance.
During the final on Sunday, the singer was crowned the winner and she took home the whopping £250,000 cash prize as well as the chance to perform at the Royal Variety Performance later this year. Following her win, Sydnie and her family kept it simple by celebrating her achievement with drinks at a local Wetherspoons.
Sydnie said on her Instagram Stories: "Thank you everyone who voted for me. I don't know... My life! The Christmas clan are celebrating in the Wetherspoons." She proceeded to pan the camera around to showcase her family cheering her on as they held up their drinks.
