A British teenager who has gone missing during a holiday in Tenerife told a friend he had “cut his leg” on a cactus and had “no idea where he was” in a frantic last phone call.

Jay Slater, 19, from Oswald twistle, Lancashire, was last heard from on Monday morning when he called his friend, Lucy Law, after attempting to walk back to his accommodation after missing a bus.

The walk from Rural de Teno Park, his last known location, to the south of the Spanish island, would take around 11 hours on foot. Search teams refocused their efforts yesterday in the north of Tenerife, where Rural de Teno Park is located, after discounting a potential lead in the south of the island, the BBC reported.
