Donna said he may have travelled to London Euston, with his dad heading down south to try and find him.

Speaking to the Manchester Evening News, the mum said she was going through every 'parent's worst nightmare' as she urged her son to 'please get in touch'. Donna added: "I dropped him off at Asda in Chadderton and he was supposed to go to work for 8am, which was over the road.

"But he's not turned up for work. That's the last I saw of him.

"I think the police have said this his phone was pinged at Manchester Piccadilly at 3.25pm and that's it... we've not seen anything else since. His phone has been off since then."
