Fears had been raised for the 36-year-old actor, who has a four-year-old son, after she did not contact family for an extended period; something relatives said was out of character for her and that she had been “feeling anxious”.
Weeks had last been seen at her home in Chichester, in West Sussex, on Thursday and was reported missing an hour later. Police have confirmed now that the actor had been found safe and well.
