Britain’s Got Talent finalist Letitia Cuney killed in car crash

Sad news just in.

The crash happened on December 28 involving a silver BMW520D which was driven by Letitia, and a white Nissan Qashqai, on the A10 near Chittering.

Police have arrested a man on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, drug driving, and possession of Class A drugs.

Letitia, who grew up in America, was part of the NSO (Northants Sings Out) Choir who reached the final of Britain’s Got Talent in 2024.

Her family have described her as a ‘true legend’.

In tribute, her family wrote: “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.”

Cheryl’s family have described her as a ‘mum, grandmother, sister, daughter and friend, with a massive heart’.

They 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.”
