A new video of Jay Slater, the British teenager who is missing in Tenerife, has emerged on social media.
The 19-year-old from Lancashire has been missing since Monday (17 June) morning after he was split up from his friends at the New Rave Generation festival the day prior.
Unable to find his friends, Jay decided to stay out with a group of people he had just met.

On Monday morning, he called his friend Lucy Law, who told Sky News that he had 'cut his leg on a cactus and had no idea where he was', and that his phone was on one percent battery.
Lucy said that Jay stayed out with people he met on Sunday night who were renting a holiday home apartment 'miles away from civilisation and in a very secluded location'.
She claims that the teen left the apartment at 8.00am before calling her.
Now, almost a week on from the teenager going missing, new footage of him walking through a nightclub has emerged on social media, shared by TikTok user Leah (@leah.birchxx).

The short clip shows him at a rave wearing sunglasses on his head, with music playing in the background. Watch below:
A local woman from Tenerife has since told the Mirror that police have spoken to both of the men he was with, with someone claiming they saw Jay 'walking alone'.
She said: "I never saw the missing boy, but I know people saw him walking on his own. I saw the two British men who stayed here.

"They came in for cafe con leche a couple of times. One was aged about 40. The other one was slightly younger.
"The police have spoken to them both [the British men]. They arrived on Saturday and were due to stay until Monday, but they left on Tuesday."
Stepfather Andy Watson has opened up on the horrifying moment when police knocked on his mum's door, in Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire.
"It was about 2.30am in the early hours," the 63-year-old told LancsLive. "When the police said 'the best thing you can do is get yourself out there' we knew it was bad.

"This was his first holiday on his own. I'm just hoping he's gone to another party.
"She said she'll make contact with the consular office and then ring me but I've not heard anything yet."
A Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office spokesperson said: “We are supporting the family of a British man who has been reported missing in Spain and are in contact with the local authorities.”
