Nathaniel said: “The police have told us that they’ve traced him getting on a plane at Manchester Airport and travelling to Australia, but then the trail goes cold.

“As far as we know he has no friends and no family in Australia and we have no idea why he would have travelled there.

“He only took his toothbrush, wash bag and a few clothes, certainly not enough to start a new life anywhere.

“We know he loves his family. We are all really close and he is usually such a level headed man.

“We just want him to get in touch with us and tell us he’s safe. We’re unsure what his mental health is like at the moment and we are just going out of our minds with worry.”
