CBBC host Mya-Lecia dies aged 16
BY ALEX GREEN BBC children’s TV star Mya-Lecia Naylor has died aged 16.
Mya-Lecia, who appeared in shows including Millie Inbetween and Almost Never, died on April 7 but the cause of death is unclear.
She starred with Emily Atack, Fleur East and Tess Daly on CBBC show Almost Never.
The show followed boyband The Wonderland and rival girl group Girls Here First as they competed on a fictional TV talent competition The Spotlight.
Her representatives A&J Management said: “It is with the deepest sorrow we have to announce that on Sunday, April 7, Mya-Lecia Naylor, very sadly, died.
“She was hugely talented and we will miss her greatly. Our love and thoughts are with her family and friends.”
“The victims of your offending are those children who are being raped and abused. If people didn’t watch it, others wouldn’t make it.”
Bruce, of Halbeath, Fife, describes himself as an “actor, presenter, model, musician, dancer and entertainer extra” on the Casting Now website.
He lists “childrens TV” under specialist areas.
His Facebook page – under the name JB Singer – has dozens of photos of him during his time in Spain, including flyers saying “as seen on ITV” and showing the logo of The Voice show.
It is unclear if he’s competed on the BBC talent show.
We revealed last year he was captured by police in San Bartolomé de Tirajana, on Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands.
He had been spotted in a shopping and leisure centre in Playa del Inglés in the south of the island.
