Jay Slater's mum has revealed there has been a possible 'new sighting' of her son which is being investigated by police in Tenerife.
Jay, 19, from Lancashire, has been missing since Monday morning (17 June), shortly after he made a frantic phone call to his friend Lucy Law.
After partying at a festival over the weekend, Jay decided to stay out with a group of people he had recently met.

On Monday morning, Lucy says that Jay phoned her at around 8.50am, explaining that he was lost in the mountainous area and his phone was only on one percent.
It is believed that Jay was trying to walk from an Airbnb in the region to where he was staying, which would have taken about 11 hours on foot.
The family have been out in Tenerife since Tuesday, helping authorities with the search.
Jay's mum, Debbie Duncan, has now provided an update, explaining police are investigating a possible sighting.
She told the MailOnline: "Someone has come forward to say they saw someone who they thought was Jay walking back down the road sat on a bench.

"He was with two men looking a bit worse for wear, and they were by a church, this guy has come forward and told the police about it and they are looking into it. "We don't know if it was Jay for sure, but it's a start.
"They said it was about 6pm which is ten hours after he was seen by the lady in the village. But if it was him what was he doing there and who are these two men?
"All I know is that I am going to stay here for as long as it takes, I'm not going home unless it's with Jay. I'm not going anywhere until they find him."
It's believed Jay had been to an Airbnb in Los Christianos before he went missing.

Ofelia, the owner of holiday rental, Casa Abuela Tina, explained she had seen Jay on Monday morning.
"On Monday morning I was on my way home when a young man came up to me to ask me about the bus timetable," she told ITV.
"I told him that the next bus was at 10am.
"Shortly after he came back to me apparently he didn't understand me due to the language barrier and asked me again what time the next bus was due.

"I told him again that the next bus was at 10am, pointing at him with the 10 fingers of my hand.
"After this conversation I left to go home.
"Later on I left my house because I was going to take the car towards Buena Vista, and about a kilometre, a kilometre and a half, from the house I saw a guy walking in the same direction as I was going with the car.
"I thought to myself it was the same guy who asked me the bus timetable.

"When I passed-by him with the car I could confirm that it was the same guy, after that I did't see him again.
"I don't know if he took another road, turned back, or if something happened to him on the way."
