BROOKSIDE legend Jennifer Ellison is offering £500 for the safe return of her phone – after it was stolen from right under her nose.
The actress, 39, shared her devastation with fans revealing the phone contained hundreds of her personal images.
Jennifer shared: “My phone has just been stolen by a lady in Booths Carnforth. She placed it into her bag after leaving the toilet.
“It has very sentimental pictures of my family in. I’m offering £500 reward if it is handed in. Any info please contact me on here.”
Jennifer shares sons Bobby, Harry and Charlie with husband Rob Tickle.
She is best known for her role as Emily Shadwick in Brookside, but will next be seen on Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins.

The star revealed she decided to take part because she had been off TV for so long but compared the experience as more painful than labour.
She said: “[It is] the most excruciating, unbearable, going to hell and back thing you can do.
“And then getting the most incredible reward at the end that stays with you for life and that changes you as a human being, changes you as a person.”
Confessing her reasons for taking part, she added: “I wanted to do it because I’d not done anything for so long.

“I’ve had this kind of break from what I grew up doing and love doing, and kind of lost my identity a little bit.
“So the opportunity came along and I just thought, “I’m going to grab it with both hands and see I can still do my stuff.”
“It was more of a challenge for me personally, to see if I could test myself and kind of remember who I am and the fire I used to have inside of me.”
Along with Jennifer, the full line-up includes Calum Best, Towie stars Pete Wicks and Ferne McCann, Love Island champ Amber Gill and former EastEnders star Maisie Smith.
