Brit teen missing in Tenerife after making desperate call to pals following trip to ‘middle of nowhere’ on night out

A BRITISH teenager has gone missing while on holiday in Tenerife as his heartbroken family and friends launch a desperate appeal to find him.

Jay Slater, 19, from Lancashire was with his pals for a music holiday in the Canary Islands before he vanished without a trace after staying the night with people he had met on holiday after a night out.

The people he met were staying in an apartment that was “in the middle of nowhere”, his close friend Lucy told the Manchester Evening News.

Lucy phoned Jay on Monday after he had stayed the night away as he told her he was walking home.

Jay only had one per cent left on his phone battery and couldn’t catch a bus to make the journey faster and safer.

Lucy also revealed he told her he “didn’t know where he was” and that he needed a drink of water before the phone call cut off.

Tracking his phone, Lucy said the last location was in the middle of the mountains in the Rural de Teno Park – a popular hiking spot.

His family say they “have never been so worried” after hearing about his shock disappearance.
