Actor appeals court decision in bid to win abducted daughter back

HOLLYWOOD actor Josef Cannon’s extraordinary six-year battle to get back his half-Irish daughter has gone to the Court of Appeal in London.

The 44-year-old had custody of Shelby, aged10, after a split in his marriage but her mother, Catherine Collins, abducted her during a visit to her parents in Navan in 1998.

She was eventually found living under an assumed name at an address on Merseyside.
