‘Line Of Duty’ Star’s Wedding Serenade From Dementia Choir She Featured In Acclaimed Doc

Vicky McClure, one of the leads in hit UK crime thriller Line of Duty, married her longtime fiancé on Friday, when the couple were serenaded by Our Dementia Choir, a group of singers with dementia brought together by McClure in 2019.

The choir were featured on a BBC documentary that year, fronted by McClure and which explored what music therapy could do for those living with dementia. Two years later, the organisation she founded became an official charity.

Late on Friday night, McClure appeared with her new husband on a BBC Radio Wales show, hosted by Owen’s daughter Katie, who announced live on air, “”If anyone’s listening, this is my dad and Vicky McClure and they’ve just got married.”

“We’re married,” added McClure. “We’ve had the most amazing special day. We’re gutted that you’ve had to go back but we’re so proud of you for what you’re doing.”
