The choir, made up of relatives and friends of missing people, shared pictures and names of their loved ones while performing. And although they finished eighth in the competition, the group has made significant headway since their first audition aired – the choir’s helpline has opened a new lead in the search for Tom Moore, who has been missing for 14 years, raised over £7000 and can now celebrate this major success story.
