Police are searching for a former EastEnders star who disappeared with her two young children almost three weeks ago.

Sian Blake, 43, who played Frankie Pierre in the hit soap, vanished from Erith in south-east London with her children Zachary, eight, and Amon, four.

She was last seen on Sunday December 13 around Waltham Forest, east London, and police in Bexley, south-east London, believe she is still in the area.

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

Sandra Metzgen told The Sun: “Sian has motor neurone disease and I think it has got worse.

"No one knows where she is. She was looking very thin and frail and I think her mum was worried about that.

"She was in hospital for quite a while and whether her condition has progressed I don't know."

Ms Blake appeared in 56 episodes of EastEnders in 1996 and 1997, but quit the soap after being bombarded with hate mail aimed at her unpopular character.

The Metropolitan Police is now appealing to the public for help finding her.

A spokeswoman for the force said: "We are increasingly concerned about her and her children's well-being. We have exhausted all other lines of inquiry."

Ms Blake is black, 5ft 2ins and slim with short black hair. She wears glasses but can also wear contact lenses.

Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101 or Missing People on 116000, quoting reference 15MIS050346.
