AN EastEnders star has shared her heartbreak after her disabled pet was stolen by vile thieves, leading her to beg for help.
Lusia Bradshaw White – who played Tina Cater on BBC One soap EastEnders before her fatal exit in 2020 – shared the update with her legion of social media followers.
Posting a photo of their family Shetland pony, Luisa wrote: “PLEASE HELP!
“Our family Shetland who is disabled has been STOLEN.
“She had 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 continued to plead with fans, writing: “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 was flooded with comments, including messages of support and from those vowing to help the soap star.
One person wrote: “Oh no I’m so sorry – will share in the hope you get her home safe and very soon .”
A second penned: “Sending prayers for a safe and speedy return of your pony. I’ve shared .”
And a third echoed: “Oh no Lu, this is so awful, I’m so sorry for you all, and her .”

She penned: “Making music to take people on a journey with sound, breath and movement. Allowing them to experience it all. All the feels. All emotions equally important and felt without judgement and without a story needing to be connected to it.
“I love this life. Times are changing. We need to be grounded more now than ever before. We need truth. For me, this cuts away all the bullshit and takes me to my truth.”
