First Dates star Paddy White has been missing for 21 days

First Dates star Paddy White's family are desperately hoping for news as the police continue the hunt for the missing 33-year-old.

Paddy, who dated Batley Bulldogs rugby star Keegan Hirst on the Channel 4 reality series, hasn't been seen for three weeks and the police recently revealed they fear he is in "immediate danger".

Police officers have said Paddy is "considered vulnerable" and often travels long distances by train, previously being found in Brighton and London.

Prior to being seen in Bishopsgate, London on June 29, he was seen at Deptford Park and it has now been 21 days since he was last sighted.

Paddy's friend Callum MacLeod said his "heart was breaking" as he shared an emotional plea on Facebook whilst the search for his friend continues.

He wrote: "Hi all. I can't believe I'm having to write/share this, but my friend Paddy has gone missing. Please if anyone of the people I know in London know or have seen him please contact me or the link or both. My heart is breaking please help if you know anything. Can you please share this."

Last week, Gloucestershire Constabulary said in a statement: "Paddy’s family just want to know he is safe so if you have any information, please call Gloucestershire Constabulary and quote incident 532 of 8 July. You can call 999 if you are with Paddy at the time or think he is in immediate danger, or if have sighted him recently and don't consider him to be in immediate danger, you can call 101 and ask for Gloucestershire Constabulary."

During his First Dates appearance, online fitness expert Paddy, then 28, was initially nervous when he first walked in and recognised his date rugby player Keegan.

Describing himself in his intro clip, Paddy said: "I probably take about ten selfies a day. I update people when I’m making a sandwich. I update people when I’m putting the kettle on."
