MICHELLE Collins was forced to miss filming EastEnders after being stranded in Malaga without a passport.
The 61-year-old took to X/Twitter to plead with her airline to let her fly home.
Michelle 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."

"Supposed to be filming @bbceastenders but I'm alive and safe."
Trolls misunderstood her tweet for assistance and pointed out easyJet couldn't let her on board "just because she's Cindy in EastEnders".
Michelle replied: "Oh please!!!!! Do you have to be horrible? I'm not an idiot just very stressed indeed happy new year to you."
The actress recently returned to EastEnders after her character Cindy Beale faked her own death in 1998.
She became a household name after she arrived in Walford in 1988 and became the first of Albert Square lothario Ian Beale’s six wives.
Cindy had affairs, kidnapped her own children and hired a hitman to kill Ian, played by Adam Woodyatt, 54, for which she was ultimately sent to prison in 1998.
There she was killed off off-screen with viewers told she died in childbirth with daughter Cindy Jr.
In a surprising turn of events in August, Michelle staged a comeback following the revelation that her character had been in witness protection all along.
