The Office star Mackenzie Crook has appealed to the public for help in finding his sister-in-law, who has gone missing in West Sussex after missing a chemotherapy session for her cancer on Tuesday. 

The British actor, who is also known for roles in Pirates Of The Caribbean and Worzel Gummidge, said the family were ‘obviously really worried’ at the ‘out of character’ disappearance. 

Speaking to ITV, Crook said his sister-in-law is ‘very vulnerable and we’re imagining she’s having some sort of crisis.’ 

Sussex Police said it was growing ‘increasingly concerned’ about Laurel Aldridge, who has been missing from the Walberton area, near Arundel, since Tuesday. 

The force said Ms Aldridge, 62, may have travelled as far north as Bignor Hill.

Extensive searches were taking place and people are urged to look in their back gardens and other places where she may have sought refuge. 

Crook said Ms Aldridge left her house in the Walberton area on Tuesday morning and has not been seen since.

‘It’s very out of character, she’s going through chemotherapy for cancer and she missed a session on Tuesday, she’s very vulnerable and we’re imagining she’s having some sort of crisis. That’s why we’re so desperate to find her.

‘There were some sightings early on and I don’t think she’s left the local area. We have reasons to believe she might be hiding so she might not want to be approached.’

Crook asked the public to check their back gardens or similar places where she may have sought refuge overnight. 

‘She’s been missing out for three nights – we’re entering the fourth one now (so), we’re obviously really worried.

‘If I could appeal to everyone, even if they checked before, check again in likely places where she might have crept in to lay down for the night.’ 

According to Crook, Ms Aldridge was last seen wearing a bright blue fleece but with a grey coat over the top, a brown woolly hat, a turtle scarf and black trousers. 

Sussex Police previously tweeted: ‘We’re growing increasingly concerned for Laurel Aldridge, who has been missing from Walberton, near Arundel, since yesterday. 

She may have travelled as far north as Bignor Hill, and we’re urging anyone who sees her to please call 999 quoting 347 of 14/02.’
