BGT winner Sydnie Christmas has ‘no idea’ what she’ll perform at the Royal Variety – and fears rule-break with the King
SHE'S set to light up the Royal Variety stage in November after winning Britain's Got Talent.
But vocal powerhouse Sydnie Christmas, 29, admits she still has no idea what she's going to sing.
The talented theatre performer's debut album, My Way, is released on October 4 and features the Frank Sinatra classic of the same name as its lead single.
But no decision has been made as to whether that will be that track that's belted out before the King during the televised entertainment spectacle.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Sydnie says: "It completely is a surprise, because I don't know yet.
"I have a meeting coming up. What I'm going to do, I'm trying to think what songs would probably go well for the Royal Variety off my album.

"I also want to see what does well on the album, because you think one thing's going to do well, and then the total opposite happens, and it's one that you didn't expect, so I don't actually know yet."
Seasoned performer Sydnie is remarkably calm about the upcoming gig, but is a little more shaky when it comes to the customary meet and greet with the royals after the show.
"I'm sure they're going to have to tell me to behave," she laughs. "Because I'd want to hug him [King Charles]. I'd want to hug them all, but then you've just got to stand there and bow, and do the curtsy and stuff.
"I usually just never think about those situations until they happen, because I'm just going to... basically, I'll speak when spoken to."
Though she could just be in luck as last week the King grinned from ear to ear as he was hugged by female New Zealand rugby players in an endearing break from protocol.
Sydnie is hopeful a positive response to her album of classic covers will enable her to release a collection of original material in the future.
