A friend of Levi Davis has revealed he was the last person to hear from the X Factor star before he went missing.
Mike Guida, 25, got a call from Levi just after CCTV captured him leaving a pub in Barcelona on October 29 - the last known sighting of the rugby player.
The 24-year-old former professional sportsman and X Factor star was last seen leaving an Irish pub in the Spanish city at 10.05pm on October 29 in CCTV footage obtained by the Mirror.
Private investigators searching for Levi have said he was fleeing criminals and may have tragically drowned at a Barcelona port.
Now Levi's university friend Mike has now revealed that Levi called him at 9.22pm and again at 11pm before leaving a message at 11.04pm on that fateful night.
“I believe I was the last person to hear from him,” he told The Sun Online.
“He was saying ‘can’t wait to get you over here, can’t wait to see you."
Mike explains that he was asleep and missed the calls but reached out to Levi the next day and feels "terrible" that he missed him.
"It’s horrible thinking it could be the last thing he said but at the same time, if that’s the case, I was at least a thought of his and he was excited about something," he added.
Mike and Levi met while playing rugby for Bath University and he describes his missing friend as "very loyal" and "always up for a laugh".
Mike revealed he struggled with his mental health in university and tried to take his own life but Levi was there for him "through everything".
Friends and family have not heard from Levi since he went missing..
Levi's family hired a private investigator in a bid to find him, offering £10,000 to anyone with information leading to him being found.
But now it’s been claimed that Levi was convinced he was being chased by criminals.
An unnamed member of the team of private detectives told La Vanguardia newspaper: “Davis came to Barcelona fleeing from these criminals."
Levi's devastated mother Julie Davis appeared on ITV's Good Morning Britain where she had to be consoled by host Susanna Reid.
She said: “Just before he left there was a message that, I don’t know, maybe powers up above, that said to me, ‘Give him a hug because you just don’t know if it’s going to be your last.'”
The mum also went on to share that she was frustrated by the language barrier between herself and the Spanish police.
Julie said: “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.
“We got information back saying unfortunately 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 very frustrating.”
Good Morning Britain also reported private detective Gavin Burrows had said he feared Levi may have drowned in Barcelona port following concerns over a man in the water to a nearby cruise ship.
A search carried out found everyone accounted for on the ship therefore, searching was suspended according to The Sun.
Days later, Levi’s passport was found in that same area.
Speaking at the time when Levi first went missing, his sports agent and friend Tom Varndell says that the family has had a “terrible time” coping with his disappearance.
He told the Mirror: ““It’s been an awful time. It’s been a horrible few days.
"I spoke to the family and they know Levi had his issues and that’s what makes it more frightening.
“The longer this goes on, the more real and the darker it gets because you’re like, ‘where the hell has he gone for 12 days?!’
Levi has now been missing for three months as the search to find him continues.
