Kate McCann, the mother of missing child Madeleine, is backing a choir – called Missing People – which has auditioned for the new series of Britain’s Got Talent.
The choir is comprised of people whose family members have disappeared without trace, and includes the father of missing chef Claudia Lawrence.
Kate, 48, is choir ambassador and sources say she may get more involved if the collective gets through to the live shows.
Certainly, the group’s first performance for BGT reduced many to tears – they sang an emotional piece called I Miss You.
The lyrics include: “I never thought I’d be without you.
“I always thought you’d be here safe with me.

“Maybe tomorrow I’ll wake up to find you.”
An audience member who witnessed the audition said: “Images of some of the missing people they were linked to also flashed up on the screen which had everyone in tears.
“Judges Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon were particularly moved.
“Amanda said they were an inspiration.
“The choir said they had only performed together about seven times.
“You could tell in their voices how much it means to them all.”
We’ll have to wait until May to watch the performance.
It will mark exactly a decade since Madeleine went missing from Praia Da Luz in Portugal.
A BGT source said of the choir: “Their story is unbelievably moving so it’s certain to capture the hearts of the nation.

“It’s ten years since Maddie went missing so if they got through to the live shows it’s possible Kate will want to be involved.”
BGT boss Simon Cowell, 57, has previously urged fans to back the choir’s charity, Missing People.
