An actress who starred alongside Christopher Reeve in Superman and Superman 2 has helped a Leicester man find the wallet he accidentally left on a London Underground train carriage.

Randeep Singh, who is 28 and from Leicester, now lives and works in London and accidentally left his wallet on the Tube at Earl's Court, which was later found by Sarah Douglas.

Ms Douglas, who played Ursa in the hit films, first tweeted about the find on Wednesday night.

After hundreds of retweets, friends of Mr Singh, who doesn't use the social media site, got in touch with him directly to let him know it had been found. The wallet was returned earlier today.

Twitter users took to the site to praise Ms Douglas for being a good samaritan:

Mr Singh left a Christmas card and chocolates for Ms Douglas, who wasn't at home when he collected the wallet earlier today.
