Britain’s Got Talent semi-finalists revealed as The Missing People Choir sail through
THE Missing People Choir have sailed through to the Britain's Got Talent semi-finals, joining a host of talented hopefuls to battle it out for victory.
They were sent through to the live stages of the competition by judges Simon Cowell, David Walliams, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon, as they narrowed down this year's crop of contestants.
The Missing People Choir includes Peter Boxell and Denise Horvath-Allan, whose children have both been missing for 28 years.
Their first audition, which brought the judges to tears, was a performance of I Miss You, a song penned by Boxell which also includes lyrics written by schoolgirl Alice Gross, who was murdered in 2014 aged 14.
The popular choir have vowed that if they win the competition then the £250,000 prize money will be spent on reuniting loved ones.

Clare Cook, co-founder of the choir, said: "I know that all of the families are absolutely delighted that we have made it through to the semi-finals.
"The choir have been working non-stop and will put everything into our semi-final performance. We are so very grateful for all the support we have received."
Other acts that have successfully made it to next week’s live semi-finals include retired registrar-turned-DJ Dizzy Twilight along with The Next Generation, a troupe of terrifying clown-faced dancers.
They'll be joined by PC Dan Graham, a South London police officer who dances in his uniform.
Along with the five golden buzzer acts, Harry Gardner, 16, will be hoping to impress the voting public.
Harry previously wowed the judges with an emotional audition where he performed a song about his grandmother who was suffering from Alzheimer’s.
Tragically, Harry’s grandmother has since passed away and he’s set for an emotional return next week.
The Britain’s Got Talent 2017 semi-finals run on ITV from Monday 29 May to Friday 2 June ahead of the series finale on Sunday 4 June.
