Police are searching for Foyle's War actress Honeysuckle Weeks, who has been missing since Thursday night amid concern for her welfare.

The 36-year-old was last seen in Graylingwell Drive, Chichester, West Sussex, at 9pm on Thursday and was reported missing an hour later, Sussex Police said.

Detective Kate Witt said: "We are concerned about Honeysuckle as her recent behaviour has concerned family and friends and she has expressed to them she is feeling anxious.

"Although she travels around a lot and has links in London and has family in Wiltshire, it is unlike her not to be in touch with family.

"If you read this Honeysuckle, please get in touch to let us know you are okay."

Weeks, from the village of Petworth in West Sussex, was wearing a blue anorak and faded blue jeans when she was last seen.

Police said she is around 5ft 4in and has cropped ginger/blonde hair, and they urged anyone with information about her disappearance or who may have seen her to contact them on 101.
