Police fear for woman missing with two children in London

Police are appealing for help to find former East Enders TV actress Sian Blake who has gone missing with her two children.

According to website IMDb, the Frankie Pierre character featured in 56 episodes of the BBC soap opera between 1996 and 1997.

Sian Blake, 43, who is said to have played Frankie Pierre in the hit soap, went missing from Erith, Kent, with her children Zachary, eight, and Amon, four.

Neighbours said Ms Blake suffers from motor neurone disease and eas looking “thin and frail” before her disappearance.

“When I last saw her she said the doctors didn’t think she was going to get better and it sounded like she didn’t have very long left.’ She added Ms Blake had been in hospital for ‘quite a while”.

She is described as being black, 5ft 2in and slim with short black hair. She has been missing, along with her children, Zachary, eight and four-year-old Amon. Officers said her boyfriend is not a suspect and is not being named at this stage. “However…it would be fair to say that we are now stepping up the inquiry”.

The publication quotes a source as revealing that they believe the actress may still be in London, but she has also reportedly been spotted in the Cambridge and Colchester districts since she disappeared.

Anyone with any information is asked to call police on 101 or Missing People on 116000.
