Britain's Got Talent viewers have claimed one of the finalists of the latest run of the talent show were 'robbed' after working out that Sydnie Christmas would win the show before the official confirmation on Sunday night (June 3).

The final of the 17th run of the ITV variety programme aired over the weekend with eleven acts taking to the stage after five semi-final shows which were stripped across five nights last week.

Sydnie was crowned the winner of Britain’s Got Talent 2024 and the singer, who dreams of performing on the West End stage, burst into tears as presenters Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly revealed she had scooped the £250,000 prize, as well as a spot on the bill at the upcoming Royal Variety Performance.
