A Britain’s Got Talent finalist and her partner have died in a horror crash. Singer Letitia Cuney, 53, and Cheryl Pierre, 47, died following a collision just days after Christmas.
Letitia was a member of the choir NSO, which made it all the way to the Britain’s Got Talent finals. The pair were travelling on the A10 near Chittering in Cambridgeshire when there was a collision between a silver BMW 520D and a white Nissan Qashqai.
Her family said in a statement: “Guided by her values and love for her family, she made the courageous decision to move to England with her one-year-old child, despite having never visited the country before.

“Following her move, Letitia led an industrious and fulfilling life as a teacher. To everyone who met Letitia, she was a force to be reckoned with – an energetic, powerful presence and a genuinely kind-hearted individual. She will be sorely missed as a mother, sister, daughter, teacher, colleague, and friend to many.”
Tributes were also paid to Cheryl, who died in the crash. The family said: “She was completely selfless and dedicated her life to her children, always putting them first and doing everything she could to give them the best life possible.
“She was the centre of our family, bringing everyone together, offering a shoulder to cry on, and giving the most thoughtful advice whenever it was needed.”
Following the crash, a 54-year-old man from Haddenham was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, drug driving and possession of class A drugs. He has been released on bail until March 27.

NSO choir – also known as Northants Sings Out – performed on the 2024 series of the ITV talent show, in front of judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli.
The choir is led by Music Director and Choir Director Gareth Fuller, who said of their Britain’s Got Talent journey: “When we got on the stage it was electric. We had an amazing time… we wanted to show people what we do… show what it would be like to come to one of our shows… we want to change the perception of what community choirs are.”
As well as about singing, the choir’s focus is also on community, inclusivity and innovation. The group regularly tour and have the backing of some very famous faces including Madonna, Chris Evans and Chaka Khan.
After their performance of Fatboy Slim’s Praise You, Simon described it as “absolutely spot on”. The judge added: “I’m gonna praise you – that’s what I wanna do. It was again, the best performance you’ve done since we first saw you at the auditions.”
