A fundraiser has been launched to help find X Factor star Levi Davis, who went missing has been missing in Barcelona for a week.
The rugby player, 24, was last seen at The Old Irish Pub on October 29, with concerns now growing for his welfare.
In a bid to gather information and find Davis, the star’s family have set up a Go Fund Me page, organised by Richard Squire.
With a goal of £3,000, he writes on the site: ‘As many of you will have seen in the press and on social media, Levi Davis is currently missing, last seen in Barcelona.
‘He’s struggled with his mental health for many years and we, his friends and family, are extremely concerned for him.
‘Thanks to so many people sharing his image and poster, we’ve had some possible sightings and need to get his friends and family on the ground in Spain to walk the streets looking for him and follow up on any leads.’

As this ‘obviously costs money,’ the family are asking the public for help.
‘Money raised will be used to cover travel and accommodation costs and, once he’s found, get him the professional help he needs,’ the fundraiser adds.
‘Any money left over will be donated to a charity that can help other venerable people. Thank you for your help.’
The fundraiser, which has already received several anonymous donations, also offers a description of Davis, who is 5 foot 9 inches (1.76m), and a recent photo.
Since news of his disappearance broke, his fellow X Factor: Celebrity stars have spoken out in a desperate plea to find him.
