Nicola Bulley's partner has explained the reason why he is still hopeful she will return home.
Paul Ansell was interviewed by Dan Walker for Channel 5 on tonight's Vanished: Where is Nicola Bulley. The show explored the mysterious circumstances around the mum-of-two's disappearance.
The 45-year-old vanished two weeks ago while walking her dog by the riverside in St Michael's on Wyre, Lancashire. Mr Ansell provided an insight into the "living hell" his family have been through since his partner vanished.

However, Mr Ansell thanked people for the overwhelming support he has "received" and said the family "deserve a happy ending" to their ordeal. He said: "You can't have this level of support, compassion, hope and prayers without getting the reward from it. In my mind, that is impossible.
"All the hope going out there, it has to come back and it has to bring her home." Mr Ansell issued a heartbreaking plea for anyone to come forward if they have information as the police search continues.
He said: "I want every house, every garage, every outbuilding, the land scrutinised. I want the land searched. Every piece of it. You're not gonna appease me with anything else.
"It's a locals area. We have walked down there for years. You seem the same faces everyday. On the odd occasion you see someone you don't know, they stand out like a sore thumb.
"I'm just pleading with them to please, anything, no matter how tiny, just please come forward with it. That could be the key to finding her. As a family, we're not bothered about anything else. The only thing is. We just want to find her."
