Missing British teenager Jay Slater was filmed dancing in a nightclub hours before he disappeared

New footage shows missing British teenager Jay Slater dancing shirtless at a Tenerife nightclub hours before he disappeared.

The 19-year-old was filmed around 1am last Monday, marking one of the last known sightings before disappearing around 8.50am the same day.

Mr Slater, from Oswaldtwistle in Lancashire, disappeared while trying to walk home while on holiday with two friends.

The Spanish authorities are continuing their search to find the young Briton, who has been missing for a week. The recently released clip, shared on TikTok, could provide investigators with new leads in their efforts to locate him.

Police in Tenerife have launched an urgent appeal for information as fears grow for the safety of the missing British teenager.

He is seen in one corner of the photo dancing shirtless at the NRG music festival, MailOnline reported.

Rescue teams spent six days searching for him and continued Sunday to search a 2,000-foot-deep ravine in the remote, desert-like Teno Nature Reserve.

His mother Debbie Duncan, 55, who flew to Tenerife on Tuesday morning to help with his search, said on Saturday: “We just need him at home.”

She said she “didn’t sleep” and “couldn’t abandon” her son.

The party is known to have ended at 5am and Mr Slater was with two British men who were not part of his friendship group for the night.

A woman reported seeing him at 8:15 a.m. walking away from Playa de las Americas, 30 km from her own home.

He was last heard from at around 8.30am on Monday, when he frantically called his friend Lucy Law, telling her he was lost after leaving the villa and attempting to walk back to his own accommodation, having missed a bus.

He said he “cut his leg on a cactus and didn’t know where it was,” and needed water.

The journey from Mr Slater's last known location to his accommodation would have taken around 11 hours on foot.

Search teams looking for Mr Slater appeared noticeably smaller on Saturday compared to other days – with only a handful of rescuers visible in and around Masca.

Firefighters appear to be leading the majority of the latest searches, as rescue teams, alongside sniffer dogs, set out into the morning on a steep gravel track in Teno Rural Park.
