Police are urgently searching for a missing Celebrity First Dates star who was last seen 20 days ago.
Patrick ‘Paddy’ White, 33, from Gloucestershire, was last seen in Bishopsgate, central London, on June 29 and his family are “increasingly concerned” for his welfare.
He had previously been seen in the Deptford Park area of the city on the same day.
He was still missing as of Wednesday morning, making it 20 days since he was last seen.
Mr White, who is described as “vulnerable”, appeared on Channel 4’s Celebrity First Dates in 2016, where he was matched with Batley Bulldogs rugby player Keegan Hurst.
Gloucestershire Police described him as 5ft 11in tall, white and slim, with short, blond, wavy hair.
Paddy’s friend Callum McLeod took to Facebook to make an emotional appeal for his whereabouts, admitting his “heart is breaking” as the search continues.
Calum said: “Hello everyone. I can’t believe I have to write/share this but my friend Paddy is missing.
“Please if any of the people I know in London know him or have seen him please contact me or the link or both. My heart is breaking please help if you know anything. Can you share this.
Mr White, from Cirencester, Gloucestershire, often travels long distances by train and is known to visit Brighton and London, police said.
A police statement said his family members were “increasingly concerned” for his welfare.
It added: “Officers are asking anyone who was with Patrick at the time or who believes he was in immediate danger to call 999, quoting incident 532 of July 8.
“If you’ve seen him recently and you don’t think he’s in immediate danger, call 101 and ask for Gloucestershire Police.”
