Britain’s Got Talent finalist Letitia Cuney and her partner Cheryl Pierre have been killed in car crash as friends pay tribute.
The accident happened on December 28 and involved a silver BMW 520D, driven by Letitia and a white Nissan Qashqai on the A10 near Chittering in Cambridgeshire.
Police arrested a man, 54, from Haddenham on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, drug driving and possession of class A drugs.
He has since been released on bail until March 27.
Letitia – who grew up in America, was a member of choir NSO that reached ITV’s Saturday night talent show final.
The singer’s family described her as a ‘true legend’, according to The Sun.

‘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 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.’
