Nicola Bulley's partner Paul Ansell has given a TV interview to Dan Walker as the search for the missing mum reaches its 15th day. Nicola vanished 15 days ago, on January 27, in St Michael's on Wyre, while walking her pet dog Willow, a spaniel, and having just dropped off her children at a nearby school.
The Birmingham Mail reports that Nicola was spotted by dog walkers along the River Wyre, and since she vanished, police have worked under the theory she fell into the river while the dog got into trouble. But Paul told Dan, the BBC Strictly Come Dancing star and Channel 5 favourite, that he was certain Nicola was not in the body of water.
It comes after dive squads and specialists this week failed to find her body. Nicola's disappearance has sparked a police search, while Lancashire Police probing the mysterious circumstances of her vanishing. Paul spoke to Dan on Friday night as part of a 75-minute TV documentary on Channel 5.
