Specialist divers search Barcelona port for missing ex-Bath Rugby player Levi Davis

Specialist divers have started searching the port of Barcelona for the missing former Bath Rugby Player Levi Davis - and star of Celebrity X Factor.

The port's close to where the 24 year old believed to have gone missing - as he was last seen at the Old Irish Pub back on the 29th of October, 2022.

Spanish police say the case remains open.

Searches were also being carried out at the Llobregat Delta - part of a river which lies to the south-west of Barcelona.

A tweet from the Mossos d'Esquadra regional police force said: "We continue to investigate the disappearance of a man in Barcelona on October 29.

"We have activated the maritime police and the aquatic unit to search the port of Barcelona and the Llobregat Delta.

"The case remains open."

Mr Davis appeared on ITV's Celebrity X Factor in 2019, alongside fellow rugby stars Ben Foden and Thom Evans, in a singing group known as Try Star.

He was also on E4's Celebs Go Dating in 2020, had also signed a record deal and had gone to stay with Mr Squire in Ibiza to work on some songs.

Mr Davis told Mr Squire he would call when he arrived in Barcelona but never did.

A missing persons appeal was launched back in November following his disappearance.

Last month, it was revealed staff on a cruise ship near Barcelona's commercial port tried to save a man who was in the water on the night Levi Davis went missing.
