The operation to try to find the other missing Brit is ongoing.

Cops were earlier trying to establish their whereabouts by triangulating the pair’s mobile phones.

They were said to have been near the Torrent de Paris, a river in the Tramuntana mountain range on Majorca’s northwest coast, when they vanished.

Parts of the island have been affected by severe flooding following heavy rain.

A spokesman for a regional government-run emergency services coordination centre said earlier this morning: “A search is ongoing for two hikers missing since last night in the vicinity of Torrent de Pareis in Escorca.”

Civil Guard officers and firefighters are understood to be involved in the ongoing operation.
