The Missing People's Choir talk about their loved ones who disappeared

The whole point of us auditioning is to the highlight that The Missing People charity is there and to put the message out of what they can do for you.

RACHEL AND SARAH FROM THE MISSING PEOPLE CHOIR JOIN US TO DISCUSS WHY THEY AUDITIONED FOR BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT

It takes a lot to bring Simon Cowell to tears but The Missing People's Choir did just that when they performed 'I Miss You' to audition for Britain's Got Talent earlier this year.

Fast forward a few months and the choir - founded in 2014 and made up of individuals and families of people who have vanished - are in the semi-finals and hotly-tipped to win the competition.

Two members, Rachel Edwards and Sarah Godwin, who sadly lost their brother and son respectively, joined us to talk about their experiences and progress on the UK's talent contest.

Rachel said: "My brother was in the Manic Street Preachers and he’s been missing for 22 years. He has a public persona but I prefer to just remember him as my brother."

The duo are hoping that their appearance on the show will help raise awareness of what the charity does - and even dream it may reconnect some families.

"We're hoping that someone will come forward. That would be amazing,' said Sarah whose 18-year-old son, Quentin, went missing in New Zealand in 1992."

"Even if just one person is found, it's hope," echoed Rachel.

Fingers crossed.
