Denise Welch has publicly criticised Lancashire Police for exposing Nicola Bulley's issues with alcohol, as the search to find the missing mum of two goes into a third week, branding their actions a " absolute disgrace."
The 45-year-old went missing from St Michael's on Wyre, Lancashire, 19 days ago - after dropping her two youngsters, aged nine and six, off at school and there has been no trace of her since, with searches of the river near to where she was walking and the area out towards Morecambe Bay finding nothing.
Her partner Paul Ansell did a sit down interview with Channel 5's Dan Walker at the end of last week as the broadcaster staged a live special called Missing: Where is Nicola Bulley.
