Church said every member has been an " inspiration in their own right".

" It's been a privilege to work with them and learn more about The Challenges they face, " said Church, 37.

The Choir were invited to the Crazy Chick in Powys where she surprised them with The News she would be their new vocal coach.

" We've been on a very special Journey Together to prepare for the Starry Night gala performance, " added Church.

" I can't wait to see The Choir give The Performance of their lives on such a magical night. "

" Being in The Choir is one of The Best decisions I've ever made, " said 16-year-old Taylor, who cares for her mother.

She Said The Choir has given all The Members an opportunity to " switch off" and enjoy themselves and that working with Church had been " incredible".
