BGT winner Sydnie Christmas still working at her local gym ahead of UK tour

SHE is £250,000 richer after ­winning Britain’s Got Talent and is about to embark on her debut nationwide tour.

But Sydnie Christmas still has one pressing matter at the top of her to-do list before she sets off – ­quitting her day job.

In an exclusive chat, she told me: “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.”

I doubt Sydnie, who has new single Starlight Express and an album coming soon, will ever be back, given she has the world at her feet now thanks to her ­success on the talent show.

She will kick off her My Way tour in Gateshead on October 5, before playing 14 more UK dates that month including Nottingham, Sheffield, London and Liverpool.

Sydnie is so refreshingly down to earth, she admits she has no idea what a rider is – the nickname for the dressing room requests artists put in for gigs – and has moved back in with her parents in Kent to save money on rent.

She added: “When I got told about the tour, I thought I was just going to be someone’s warm-up.

“When they told me it was my tour, I was like, ‘Oh my God’.”

With a management team in place ready to steer her career, I asked if BGT boss Simon Cowell gave her any advice.

“He told me to choose my own path and to take control,” Sydnie said with a smile.

Tickets for Sydnie’s My Way tour go on sale on Friday, July 12.

DEBUT SO DREAMY FOR JADE

LONDONER Kamille has lent her backing to Jade Thirlwall‘s solo career after the Little Mix star, confirmed her debut single, Angel Of My Dreams, will be out on July 19.

The pair are long-time collaborators, with Kamille helping to write the group’s hits including Black Magic and Shout Out To My Ex.

In an exclusive chat at an F1 x Lenovo event, Kamille said: “Oh, you are not ready for the new Jade music.

“It’s very dreamy, airy. No one is going to expect this.

“I’ve only heard a few songs and it’s worth the wait.”

Kamille isn’t the first to hype up the tracks, with loads of my pals in the music biz telling me to expect big things, so I’m excited to hear what Jade has to offer.

TAYLOR STUNT AN ERA ACHE

TRAVIS KELCE says he was terrified of dropping his girlfriend Taylor Swift when he carried her across the stage during his surprise appearance at one of her Eras Tour shows at London’s Wembley Stadium last month.

On his New Heights podcast, Travis said: “[I kept telling myself], ‘Do not drop the baby. Hold on to the baby.’”

Revealing the stunt was his idea, he said: “I was like, ‘How fun would it be if I rolled out on one of the bikes during the 1989 era?’

“She started laughing and was like, ‘Would you seriously be up for doing something like that?’

“I was like, ‘What!? I would love to do that. I’ve seen the show enough. Might as well put me to work here.’ ”

Travis teased: “Who knows, it might not be the last time.”
