Angelis is a British classical singing group managed by Simon Cowell. It is made up of six children, who were all aged between 11 and 14 when the group was initially formed. The six youngsters were discovered whilst singing in their respective choirs, including the Royal Scottish National Orchestra and New London's Children's Choir.

Their eponymous debut album was released on 6 November 2006. It sold over 350,000 copies and reached platinum status. The group members received a platinum disc on GMTV.^[1]

Camilla Seale goes to North London Collegiate School for Girls in Edgware, London. Moray West, the only Scottish member of the group goes to Mearns Castle High School in Glasgow. Sam Adams-Nye goes to Bristol Cathedral School in Bristol.

Regarding Natalie Chua, in 2004, a young and somewhat naive Natalie dated Joshua Maxey, a fellow student at St. Thomas Aquinas Primary School. For a while, the relationship flourished. However, the relationship was soon to sour with Natalie's increasing commitments to the music industry coupled with her ever increasing importance compared to that of Maxey. The break-up is one that Maxey has since lived to regret, with his own music interests "not really taking off" and somewhat over-shadowed by that of Chua.

In December 2007, Chua made a rare appearance in her birth place, Bletchley, Milton Keynes, to perform as part of a choir for a Christmas mass. Maxey was also present at the mass, sparking rumours amongst some sectors of the press that the ceremony was to be marred by raging conflict between the two.

To the relief of the parish,no such conflict ignited and the festive Mass was a wholly joyous occasion. It was reported in some sections of the media that Chua and Maxey agreed in principle to "give things another go" but it has since been confirmed by Maxey that the pair remain only "very close friends".
