Actor Mark Speight Missing


Actor Mark Speight, who lost his fiancee to a drugs overdose earlier this year is missing and police are worried for his welfare.

The 42-year-old presenter is described as ‘vulnerable’ and has not been seen since he was dropped off at 9.30am on Monday Wood Green station in north London. He was due to meet a friend at 3.30pm in Covent Garden, central London, but did never arrived.

The inquest into the death of his fiancée Natasha Collins, also a presenter, was only six days ago. Speight was initially arrested on suspicion of murder and supplying Class A drugs, when she was found dead in the bath of the flat they were shared in St John's Wood, north-west London, on January 3. Scotland Yard have said he is no longer facing any charges.

Collins, 31, was found with hot water burns covering about 60% of her body in the bath of the couple's home. The couple had been partying at their flat, drinking wine and vodka as well as taking cocaine and sleeping pills. Speight called 999 after waking that afternoon to discover her dead in the bath, wearing a cropped top, the inquest heard.

Speight was staying with Collins' widowed mother Carmen. Let’s hope that this ends well because it is not ‘normal’ for police to announce a missing person within 24 hours…….Keep safe.
