An investigator looking into the disappearance of Levi Davis is asking ferry passengers who were aboard the eight-hour boat trip the rugby player took on the day he vanished to help find him.
The 24-year-old, who appeared on The X Factor, disappeared on 29 October just hours after arriving in Barcelona.
He was last seen on CCTV footage leaving an Irish bar shortly after travelling to Barcelona from Ibiza.

His distraught family have enlisted the help of a private investigator to help track down Davis.
Gavin Burrows and his company Line of Inquiry have volunteered their time for free to help find Davis. The company has also offered a £10,000 reward for information.
Burrows, who said he is looking into some ‘significant leads’, is now urging anyone who was on the same ferry as Davis when he travelled to Barcelona from Ibiza to come forward.
Appearing on GB News, he said: “I've only recently just come to this, but we have got some significant leads, which we're following up right now and locally.

“There are a number of clues here. And one main appeal today is that when he left Ibiza in October, he must have spoken to somebody on the ferry during that time. It was a six, seven-hour, eight-hour journey.
“He must have spoken to somebody when he came to Barcelona or arranged to meet somebody in Barcelona. But that person's never come forward."
Speaking last week, his mum Julie said: "We are very grateful to Gavin and his team for volunteering their time, expertise and the reward fund to help find Levi.
"We are still worried sick about him and just want him home safely.
"Hopefully, this extra support will encourage people with any information to come forward."

Since his last sighting, Davis has not been seen or heard from, his bank account and mobile phone also haven’t been used.
Last month, police investigating the case announced his passport had been found in a port area of the city.
Speaking after the discovery of the passport, a spokesperson for the Spanish police said: "At the moment this case is being investigated as a disappearance and a lot of work is still being done.
"We’re talking about a person who could have disappeared for many reasons.

"They could include a voluntary disappearance or otherwise.
"We can’t link it to any criminal act at this stage and we wouldn’t until we were 100 percent sure we are looking at a crime.
"All hypotheses are being looked at and are on the table."
