Nicola Bulley's partner Paul Ansell recalls moment he started to 'panic' on day of her disappearance

The partner of Nicola Bulley has spoken of the moment he first realised something could have happened to the mum-of-two as the search continues.

Paul Ansell spoke to Channel 5 presenter Dan Walker about the family's ordeal, two weeks on from Nicola's sudden disappearance on January 27. Recalling the day she went missing, Paul relayed the events of the fateful morning and what first caused him to "panic".

Explaining that Nicola is usually back to work from home at around 9.45am after dropping her two children off at school, as she did that day, Paul recalled: "I got into the office at 10 saying: 'She’ll be back in a minute.' I was doing some emails, setting my day up… it got to say, 10.15 and I thought 'she’s later than usual' - but I wasn’t particularly worried because she has come back at 10.15, 10.20 sometimes."
