Levi Davis' mum details last phone call before his disappearance

The mother of missing X Factor star Levi Davis has recalled the last phone call she shared with him where he begged her for money.


Rugby player Levi has been missing since October, where he was seen on CCTV leaving an Irish pub in Barcelona. Since then, little news has come out about his whereabouts but his passport had been found by the port.


There have been some unconfirmed sightings of him, but other than that, not much is known about where he is. His family have hired a private investigator and the Spanish police are also working on the case.


Mother Julie appeared on Good Morning Britain today, as she spoke about her missing son and detailed their last phone call.

She said: "Also on that night, he made a phone call to me to say he was thinking of staying at a hostel here before I take my next journey. I said, oh Levi, how many more times do you wanna take money off me? You're going to have to sort yourself out this time.


"He said he had some friends he could get in touch with and that's the last phone call we had."

Speaking on the ITV breakfast show, Julie sobbed as she recalled how she feared something was up.


"Just before he left, there was a message that - maybe the powers up above - that just said to me, just give him a hug as you don't know if it'll be your last," she shared before sobbing as host Susanna Reid held her hand and consoled her.

Julie explained how she's been finding it very tough as the information feeding back through to her is "very slow".

She shared: "I’ve had a lot of support from family and friends and of course the private investigators have been working very hard and the Spanish police have done their bit as well. But where I think it’s been difficult is not having the information come through.

"There’s the language barrier of course and having to go via the British consulate before and then the feedback with news updates is very slow, very slow. I know the British consulate are pressing but in terms of the updates and the CCTV coverage it’s frustrating."

She was emotional as she added: "We got information back saying it's too late because the Spanish police had to go to court to get paperwork signed so they could access the CCTV. By the time they did get it all the video had been deleted. It’s frustrating."
