Another moaned: “Rigged, I’d rather have Viggo back to show how fake this show is. End this show now.”
A third said: “Wrong person won yet again, I’m done with this show now and won’t be watching again.” As another added: “Fixed as usual. No VAR.”
But head judge Simon Cowell attempted to hit back at negativity. He said on the show: “You know what was interesting? I worked out, I don’t think a single act tonight were professionals. They all had a regular job and they did something extraordinary.”

However Sydnie is no stranger to the spotlight, despite having a “regular job” in a gym when she first appeared on the show. In the past, she starred on E4 reality show Stage School, which showed what it was like for students at a performing arts school.
She has also appeared on stage a number of times, including in the show Lazarus in London. She even has a credit in the movie Kick ass 2.
