She got a standing ovation from all four judges as she was covered in golf confetti falling from above after Amanda Holden elected to send her straight through to the semi-final.
But viewers are up in arms claiming Sidney’s professional performing background has given her an unfair advantage over less experienced acts.
One wrote on X: “No way. She’s either got an album out already or has been signed somewhere. Sydnie is pro already I reckon.”
Another posted: “Why did Sydnie get a Golden Buzzer. She’s a professional for goodness sake.”
