A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "Marina Joyce, 22, was reported missing to police on Wednesday, 7 August.
"It was reported she was last seen on 31 July. Enquiries are underway to try and locate her."
KIDNAP PANIC
In 2016, she sparked panic after appearing in a worrying video in which she appeared to secretly beg for help - sparking fears she may have been kidnapped.
In the video, titled Date Outfit Ideas, Marina appeared to whisper "help me" - while her arms were also bruised.
The hashtag #SaveMarinaJoyce began trending on Twitter in the UK and US - sparking a police probe.
But Enfield Police later tweeted that she was "safe and well".

YOU'RE NOT ALONE
EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide.
It doesn't discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society - from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.
It's the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.
And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women.
Yet it's rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.
That is why The Sun launched the You're Not Alone campaign.
The aim is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all do our bit to help save lives.
Let's all vow to ask for help when we need it, and listen out for others... You're Not Alone.
