English actor Billy Murray has claimed some people in an Audi attempted to “kidnap” his grandchildren while they were out with their mother and son-in-law.

Murray, 81, has taken to social media and claimed the terrifying incident happened close to his home in Essex while his daughter and her partner were enjoying a day out. The star, who also appeared in BBC’s EastEnders, said that his daughter and his grandchildren were walking when they became separated before a group of men approached them.
