"Please ring 101 if you know anything, even if its vague, I beg you."
While a friend of Ms Allen’s added: "It is completely out of character for Chelsea to just walk out.
"She didn’t say where she was going. It is not normal behaviour for her.
“She has left her pet dog at home.
“She should have been back working as a chef in a restaurant in Helmsley on Monday, but has not shown up for work either.
“Natasha is worried sick. We all are," as quoted by The Sun.
A North Yorkshire Police spokesman said: “We are currently extremely concerned for the welfare of Chelsea. I would urge members of the public in the Ryedale area to remain vigilant and check any sheltered outbuildings.
“If anyone has any information which can assist the investigation, they should call police immediately on 101. Any immediate sightings should be reported to 999.”
