X Factor star Levi Davis' mum says 'police have forgotten about him' after he vanished two years ago

The mother of missing Levi Davis has claimed ‘police have forgotten about him’.

The X Factor: Celebrity star vanished over two years ago while on holiday in Barcelona, Spain.

Aged 24 at the time, Davis was last seen on CCTV leaving The Old Irish Pub on La Rambla at 10:05pm on 29 October, 2022.

The rugby union player had reportedly travelled to the city from Ibiza with just £35 in his pocket and no change of clothes.

After sending a voice note to a mate shortly after midnight, Davis was not heard from or seen again, with no activity on his phone or bank account.

A search was launched, but the court investigation came to a standstill.

His mum, Julie Davis, remains desperate for answers about his whereabouts as she is haunted by fears that his ‘traumatic ordeal’ might be interlinked.

The sports star had previously faced abuse for his sexual orientation and was reportedly recorded being raped.

Julie told the Daily Star: "The blackmail video was a while before he went missing - around the time of X Factor. I think he innocently got drawn into something."

She was made aware of this after her eldest son shared that Levi had given him a dark insight: "Levi had confided in Nathan that he had been drug raped and photographs had been taken and he was being blackmailed."

Julie says he was told things would be done to his family if he didn’t pay.

Julie is unconvinced and skeptical about the police investigation, adding: "They left so many questions unanswered. They said his phone last pinged by an underground station near to the port. What was he doing there at half past six in the morning?"

She was told her concerns would be addressed by a report, but when it was released she needed to have the 250 page document translated as 'half of it was in Spanish and half in Catalan'.

The concerned mother is 'now crowdfunding to find a solicitor' after being told that if she wants to pursue the matter further she'll have to do it legally.

"The cheapest one we've been quoted is £5k, and this is for preliminary work. As far as the UK police are concerned, we've just been totally forgotten," Julie said.

This is not the first time Julie has criticised Catalan Police, in 2023 she said she 'doesn't know what to believe anymore' and claimed she was given 'very limited feedback' to her questions about her son.

West Midlands Police said in a statement: "The investigation is being run by the Spanish authorities, and we are supporting it when required.

"Our thoughts remain with Levi's family and we will continue to provide them with any updates from the Spanish authorities as their investigation continues."
