Britain's Got Talent winner Sydnie Christmas has hit back at 'hateful' trolls who demanded she give up her musical theatre dream.

The singer, 29, told MailOnline she received a vicious online backlash during her appearance on the ITV show, which saw her earn Amanda Holden's Golden Buzzer and win the competition.

But the former gym receptionist said trolls told her to quit and fabricated an untrue narrative about her career, claiming she had already been a leading lady in the West End and even released a single on Spotify.

Sydnie, who was upfront about previously starring in Germany's Starlight Express from the start of her BGT audition process, explained the reality of her past was facing constant rejection and working numerous jobs including being a cleaner to make ends meet.

Despite winning £250,000 and the chance to perform for King Charles at the Royal Variety Show, Sydnie says her 'fight' to make it big in the world of musical theatre is harder than ever.

She said: 'I woke up every day and expected to see hate.

'One person said, "she has a song on Spotify, she's famous" I'm telling you now, anyone can put a song on Spotify, you can record it on your phone, other people said, "she's a Broadway star", "she's been a leading lady in the West End", it was utter rubbish. They have a mind of hate. 

'They plucked it out of the air. I don't know where they came up with these ideas but it was simply untrue.

'They would say, "she tried in the West End and failed so she should just give up"... I have tried and tried and tried to get in the West End, I have worked abroad, yes, which I didn't lie about.

'I have given my entire life for this industry. In 10 years, I have worked different jobs, I have been a cleaner, I worked at a cash converter, I tried dancing, I have worked on an egg farm, you make do, don't you? 

'People haven't got a clue and I just think how dare they... What is their problem? I would never in a million years speak like that to someone else.'

After applying for Britain's Got Talent, Sydnie continued to audition for stage roles but faced further setbacks.

Even now as winner of the ITV show and contrary to public perception, Sydnie isn't treated any differently by casting directors and follows the same audition process as everyone else.

Sydnie, who impressed Britain's Got Talent boss Simon Cowell with her show-stopping vocals, admits winning the series was a 'miracle' 

As well as having her artistry finally recognised following years of doubt, Sydnie banked the £250,000 prize, but says a month after being crowned champion, she hasn't spent a penny

She explained: 'I was in Starlight Express in Germany on and off for four years. But I auditioned for the London show in the West End just before going for Britain's Got Talent and didn't get it.

'When I auditioned for BGT in January, I was in the audition process for A Night With Janis Joplin The Musical, I didn't get it, still, even now.

'I know after winning Britain's Got Talent people will probably think life is going to be wow, success but no, you're still fighting in the musical theatre world. You still have to fight, fight, fight. I'm still fighting to be the lead in the West End.

'It takes time and it has to be right, you can't just get a lead because you won a competition, that's not how it works. You have to get the script, work, audition just like everybody else.'

The singer, whose long-term boyfriend Max is a fellow performer, is looking towards her future and hopes to settle down, using the money as a solid foundation.  

She said: 'I'm going to be really disappointing, but I haven't touched a penny yet.

'I am the queen of saving being in the industry, you save some money, then you're out of work and not earning the same money... I'm used to saving. But also, in a couple of years' time, I would like my own place and to have some children, I want to set up a life and be stable.'

On Friday, Sydnie released her first single Starlight Express ahead of her upcoming album, My Way, which will be available in late September.

The body of work will feature tracks Over The Rainbow, My Way, and Tomorrow, paying homage to Sydnie's spellbinding auditions.

She is preparing to embark on her very first tour, where she will perform 15 dates across the country in October, kicking off in Gateshead and concluding in Liverpool.

Speaking about her apprehensions ahead of the live shows, Sydnie said: 'I have never done anything like this before so this will be a first. I'm hoping it goes very well, I'm praying it goes well.

'I'll try and show everybody to the best of my ability who I am and that's really my only story with this tour so I'm hoping it goes really well... I am terrified and excited.

'I feel under massive pressure as the Britain's Got Talent winner. It's hard to believe that people are going to buy tickets. That's my insecure side, I'm worrying about it. 

'I still can't believe people liked what I did and voted and it's the same thing, I can't believe people would spend their hard-earned money on tickets. I hope they do and come and see the show and continue this journey.'
