Police were hunting for Weeks after she vanished shortly after talking of her battle with anxiety.

Her sister Perdita thanked well-wishers and confirmed she had been found “safe and sound” on Twitter.

The 36-year-old was last seen in Chichester, West Sussex at 9pm local time last night, reported The Sun.

Her family alerted police one hour later who confirmed she had recently spoken about “feeling anxious”.

She is understood to have been seeking psychiatric treatment in recent weeks.

Detective Kate Witt said in an earlier statement: “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 OK.”

Describing her appearance, Det Witt added: “She is around 5’4″ with cropped gingery blonde hair. She was last seen wearing a blue anorak and faded blues jeans.”

Sussex Police also earlier tweeted a picture of the actor with an appeal to the public to help trace her.

A caption read: “Pls RT to help find missing #Petworth woman Honeysuckle Weeks.”

The actor had reportedly told close family and friends that she had been suffering from anxiety recently.

She was ordered to wear an electronic ankle tag and given a curfew in February after being caught speeding in South West London.

The mum-of-one was already banned from driving and had a child in the back without a proper seatbelt.

Cardiff-born Honeysuckle has starred as Samantha Stewart in ITV drama Foyle’s War since 2002.

The Oxford-educated actor has a young son Wade with hypnotherapist husband Lorne Stormonth-Darling.
