London sisters to star in Children in Need choir

As part of this year's BBC Children in Need appeal, for the first time ever, kids from across the UK who have been supported by Pudsey's projects will sing as part of a choir and perform live on the night.

The group includes two sisters, Aanya and Amyra, from Havering, east London, who are members of inclusive performing arts charity, The Habbit Factory.

They were helped by the charity, which was part-funded by BBC Children in Need, to rebuild their confidence after their mother's cancer diagnosis had a devastating impact on them.
