Former Little Mix star Leigh-Anne Pinnock has shared an urgent appeal in the search for her missing niece.
The popstar said her niece Faith went missing in the area of High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, and was last seen wearing “a black crop top, black leggings with a Jordan backpack”.
She added she was “extremely worried” and that police had been informed.
The Black Project, an arts and culture group that has previously partnered with Pinnock’s charity The Black Fund, also shared the appeal and said that the 13-year-old had been missing since the afternoon of 22 July.
Pinnock said: “My niece Faith is missing. Please share, we are extremely worried, she has no phone or money.
“Police have been informed but are yet to find her.”

They urged anyone with information to get in touch.

Pinnock grew up in High Wycombe, a Buckinghamshire town to the north-west of London, before she went on to audition for The X Factor, and form Little Mix in 2011.
Along with bandmates Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall, and Jesy Nelson, she won the series.
The group went on to record six studio albums – including five UK number one singles – before announcing their split in December 2021.
