A British man has vanished in Tenerife just weeks after jetting to the hotspot for a holiday with his partner.
Liam Hannigan, 34, from Greater Manchester, has not been in touch with family or friends since February 7 after his ‘phone was switched off’ a number of days ago, his relatives have said.
He was on holiday at the popular Canary Islands resort and staying in the area with friends he met on the trip after first flying out for a holiday with his partner on December 29.
An appeal has now been launched, with information also shared by the Missing Person’s Tenerife page on Facebook, which was passed on by Liam’s family and his mother Lynn.
His sister Ellie said that Liam, who is from the Clifton area, last spoke to her on Friday, but that her last message to him failed to deliver.
‘Normally if he wasn’t speaking to me, he’d speak to another of his sisters or our mum,’ she said.
‘Over the weekend we realised he hadn’t contacted any of us, and his friends said they hadn’t seen him since Friday morning.’
Liam is described as being around 6ft 1, slim, with tanned skin and has a tattoo on his chest saying ‘Family First’ and a small ‘A’ on his wrist.

The British holidaymaker has reportedly vanished in Tenerife
He has a full beard and is likely to be wearing a black shiny Moncler body warmer with a hood and green Croc shoes.
His family also said his bank card and passport were left with family friends who live in the Los Cristianos resort.
Liam’s family said that he was staying at a property in the La Asomada area – but that he also visited Los Cristianos with spends made on a travel bank card in the area.
The Foreign Office has said they are supporting the family.
A spokesperson said in a statement: ‘We are supporting the family of a British man in Tenerife.’ It is understood the case has also been reported to Greater Manchester Police.
‘He’s very family orientated,’ his sister Ellie added.
‘He would never ever stress us out like this, it’s very unusual. My mum and step dad are flying out tomorrow.
‘Even just a sighting or someone who assumes they’ve seen him could help. We just want him home.’
Anyone with information is being urged to contact police in Tenerife by making a report in English by phoning the National Police helpline on 902 102 112.
An app called ‘Alert Cops’ can also be used to make reports in English.
It comes after another British holidaymaker who vanished in Tenerife in November was miraculously found alive and well after going missing for four days.
Kris Finney from Lancashire, was reported missing after not being heard from for several days.
A local shopkeeper found a worse-for-wear Kris and helped him after he was left with no money and a shattered phone.
His aunt Debbie Kenyon told the BBC after he was discovered: ‘We are so relieved. We were sick with worry’.
