Leigh-Anne Pinnock is appealing to fans for help after her niece went missing.
The “Little Mix” singer has asked her followers to share an urgent appeal after her 13-year-old niece Faith, disappeared in High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire, England without her phone or any money.
“Please share. My niece Faith is missing. She was last seen wearing a black crop top, black leggings with a Jordan backpack in High Wycombe town centre. Please share, we are extremely worried, she has no phone or money. Police have been informed but we are yet to find her,” she wrote on her Instagram Story alongside photos of Faith, on Monday, July 22.
She was last contacted on Monday afternoon.
“Faith was reported missing to Thames Valley Police yesterday the evening of July 22. Officers are working to locate her. If anyone has any information on where she might be, please call 101 quoting 2053 of yesterday’s date, July 22” a Thames Valley Police spokesperson told the Daily Mirror newspaper.
Leigh-Anne has two sisters, Sairah and Sian-Louise, and Faith is Sian-Louise’s daughter.
The concerned mother shared a post by The Black Project on Instagram, showing Faith under a missing person banner.
“Faith, age 13, has not been seen or heard from for several hours now, having last been seen in the town centre of High Wycombe earlier today.
“She has no phone with her, and no money either, so it’s not clear if or how she’d have left the High Wycombe area, but with no way of contacting her, her family are incredibly worried,” the post read.
Back in 2018, Leigh-Anne shared a post about Faith after she decided she “didn’t like her Afro” and would rather “look like the other girls” at school.
“My niece of 7 years once said she didn’t like her Afro [and] wanted to look like the other girls in her class, it broke my heart that she didn’t consider what she had as beautiful. Love your curls, love your Afro.. we need to teach young black girls that it IS just as beautiful,” the singer wrote at the time.
