EastEnders actress Luisa Bradshaw-White has issued a heartbreaking plea for help after her beloved pet was cruelly snatched by thieves. Sharing a close-up image of her family’s Shetland pony with her 96,000 followers, she captioned it: “PLEASE HELP! Our family Shetland who is disabled has been STOLEN. She has never been ridden, and she is old, has never been apart from her mum and she will be extremely stressed and anxious right now. She is a highly sensitive disabled rescue pony.”

Luisa, 50, made a heartfelt appeal to her followers, with an urgent message: “Please, if anyone sees this and lives in the EAST SUSSEX area… she was taken from Brightling… can you repost and put on your stories so we can get this seen. Thank you in advance.”

Luisa’s post quickly gathered comments filled with support and promises to aid the soap actress. One concerned fan commented, “Oh nooooo – how awful! I do hope you find her and that she’s safely found and back home with you very soon”, and another shared their hopes writing, “Praying that you get her back safe and well.”

While Luisa hasn’t shared news of any progress, she reiterated her plea on her Instagram Stories, stating emphatically: “WE NEED HER HOME.”

Best known for her role as Tina Carter on EastEnders, which she left in 2020, Luisa first rose to fame in 1988 with her role as Herte in A Friendship in Vienna. She subsequently appeared in popular shows such as Grange Hill, The Bill, Birds of a Feather and Holby City. She later featured in the BBC medical drama Doctors before securing her role in EastEnders.

Luisa portrayed Tina on the BBC soap for eight years until her character met a grisly end at the hands of serial killer Gray Atkins. In October 2021, she announced that she had decided to step away from acting as it no longer brought her satisfaction.

Since then, she has established a dance school in Hertfordshire where she organises ‘sober raves’, and credits dance as helping her discover her true ‘calling’, reports the Mirror.

Away from her former soap life, Luisa has been in a civil partnership with partner Annette Yeo since 2006, although they officially married each other in a gorgeous ceremony in 2015, where their two daughters acted as bridesmaids.

The happy couple adopted their kids when they were just three and four years old, and Luisa previously told OK! magazine: “We saw a picture and I burst into tears. I knew the girls were my children. I’d bought them clothes before we had even been approved to have them.”
