THE heartbroken family of Nicola Bulley, whose disappearance last year gripped the nation, have said they "feel her loss every day".

Nicola was found three weeks after falling into a river while out walking her dog, Willow.

And the director of a new documentary into the case said it will show her family's feelings in an unfiltered way for the first time.

The family said it was not an easy decision to take part in next week's programme on BBC One.

But they added: "There is so much to share about Nikki the person.

"Our sole aim is to provide the definitive record on Nikki to ensure she has the legacy that she deserves.

"Nikki's loss is felt by us all, every day.
