Posting to her 96,000 social media followers, the soap star shared a close up snap of her family's Shetland pony as she issued a desperate plea. She captioned the photo: "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 as she wrote: '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 from fans as they sent messages of support. One person replied: 'Oh nooooo - how awful! I do hope you find her and that she's safely found and back home with you very soon." Another said: "Praying that you get her back safe and well."

Aside from her on-screen life, Luisa has been married to her long term partner Annette Yeo since 2015, with their two daughters acting as bridesmaids on their big day.
