PC Alexis Walch, of West Police, said: "Ellis has been missing for more than a week now and we are extremely concerned for his welfare."

"We have carried out a substantial number of enquiries to try and locate him but they have so far proved unsuccessful. That is why we are now asking the public for their assistance.

"I would also like to take this opportunity to appeal directly to Ellis – if he sees this – to make contact with police straight away to let us know you are OK."

Ellis is described as white with freckles, 5ft 3in tall, of a slim build, with short brown hair.
