OHMYGOSSIP — Michelle Collins was left stranded in Spain on New Year’s Day after losing her passport.
The ‘EastEnders’ actress was desperate to return home from Malaga airport on Monday (01.01.24), because she is supposed to be filming scenes as Cindy Beale on Tuesday (02.01.24), but Michelle wasn’t allowed to board an easyJet flight after losing her passport.
In a New Year’s Day plea to the airline, she wrote on X: “Please @easyJet can you help me I have lost my passport at Malaga airport the police ( I have been there ) say it is up to the airline to let me fly home ,, my flight is at 8 30 pm tonight I am heading to the airport having just left the police station . Thank you Michele x (sic)”
She later posted: “Nobody is very helpful @easyJet this is awful (sic)”
Michelle later updated fans, and revealed she wasn’t allowed to fly after trying to obtain a temporary passport from the embassy, but it was closed.
She added: “Thank you most of you for your helpful comments , I wasn’t allowed to fly , went to embassy was closed applied for an emergency document online so let’s see what happens will go there when it opens in the morning . (sic)”
Despite admitting she was due to film ‘EastEnders’ scenes, Michelle tried to look on the bright side by reflecting that she was “alive and safe”.
She posted: “Supposed to be filming @bbceastenders but I m alive and safe (sic)”
Michelle’s eventful start to 2024 comes after she made a shock return to ‘EastEnders’ last year, despite her character Cindy previously being killed off more than 20 years beforehand.
The actress – who has also appeared in ‘Coronation Street’ – nearly turned down the chance of an Albert Square return.
She recently told TV Times magazine: “It has taken a year for it to happen; I was doing ‘Cluedo’ on tour when I was asked if I would be interested. Initially, I was like, ‘No, I don’t know… and then my agent and I met with Chris Clenshaw, the executive producer.
“He showed us the storyline on his laptop and I thought, ‘Wow, if they can make it work, then maybe, yes!’ I suppose things are about timing, aren’t they? It just felt like it was the right time.”
