The EastEnders actor said that the runaway schoolgirl should be allowed back.

He told Good Morning Britain: "I feel she needs a chance, maybe to explain what was going on. Maybe we can understand a little bit more about how they got to her and how she felt it was the right move to jump on a plane and leave this country at 15 years of age.

"She is still a young girl... Maybe we can learn from it."

He added: "I don't understand what's gone on there."
