BREAKING: Missing X Factor star Levi Davis' disappearance case still has 'no new leads', say police in update

Levi Davis' missing persons case has no new leads – two years after The and rugby ace disappeared in Spain.

The court investigation into the mystery stalled last year after a search involving police divers in the port of Barcelona sparked by fears Levi was the man spotted by crew on a passenger cruise liner in difficulties in the water. Court officials confirmed today their probe remained suspended and would only be reactivated if new information came to light.

And police said overnight they were not planning to use the milestone anniversary date of the Brit’s disappearance to make a public appeal for information because they had “nothing new to offer.”
The last confirmed sighting of Levi was of him leaving an Irish pub in Barcelona on the night of October 29 2022 after taking a boat from Ibiza with just POUNDS 35 in his pocket and no change of clothes.
The port search and another in the Llobregat Delta, one of Catalonia’s most important wetland zones near Barcelona where police said at the time sea currents could have taken his body or items of clothing, failed to yield any clues.
They were organised after four members of cruise liner MSC Bellissima, which docked in Barcelona around eight hours after the pub CCTV sighting, said they had seen a man in the sea wearing the same light-coloured top as Levi and shouting for help in English.

A lifebuoy was thrown to him and coastguards in Barcelona mobilised their helicopter called Helimer 203 and a vessel called Salvamar Mintaka.
A boat operated by firefighters was also sent to the scene along with police and Red Cross vessels but they were stood down after it was confirmed no-one was missing from the cruise liner and police confirmed no-one had been reported missing in port waters or in the sea off Barcelona.
A spokesman for the investigating magistrate at the city court which had been probing the disappearance said last night: “There are no updates in this case. It’s still provisionally archived.”
The Mossos d’Esquadra, the Catalan police force Levi’s disappearance was reported to, said: “Our investigation remains open but we have nothing new we can tell you about.
“There are no plans for a public appeal for information coinciding with the second anniversary of Levi’s disappearance.”
A well-placed police source added: “No-one is actively working on this case police-wise or in the courts on a day-to-day basis.
“That doesn’t mean police won’t look into any new information that comes their way.
“But the last big push was 17 months ago with the port searches.”
Another insider said: “The lead theory is that Levi drowned but proving that now is virtually mission impossible.”
Levi’s family were said to have been in talks earlier this year to participate in a TV documentary about his disappearance in a bid to shed light on what happened.
A source close to his mum Julie was quoted in May, confirming she had been approached by a production company wanting to make a documentary, as saying: “We are waiting for the opportunity that affords the best chance of finding out what happened.”
CCTV footage showed Levi leaving the Old Irish Pub near Barcelona’s La Rambla around 10pm on October 29 2022 after taking a boat from Ibiza where he had been staying with friends.
Detectives told Levi’s family they had discovered his phone signal was last picked up in the early hours of October 30 by a telephone mast at the far end of the port closest to the sea entrance.
It had previously been thought his mobile phone, which hasn’t been used since his disappearance, was last pinged close to the city’s main Sants railway station.
Catalan police launched a search off their own backs on November 8 2022 before receiving an official ’ report from an Ibiza-based friend of Levi’s four days later.
His disappearance was initially investigated by a group of officers at the Barcelona police station it was first reported to.
It was later handed over to a specialist investigative unit based in the Catalan capital which went on to instigate the searches involving police divers in May last year although it informed the investigating judge about its plans and the results.
Early on it was claimed the missing man was POUNDS 100,000 in debt to Somali criminals and Levi said he had been blackmailed over a sex tape and his life was in danger in a chilling last video he recorded shortly before vanishing.
Gavin Burrows, a private investigator who worked for his family before they parted ways, went on to claim Spanish police would have enough to make an arrest after handing them a “damning expose” he said contained evidence of blackmail as well as threats he said Levi had received over a Somali mafia debt. No arrests were ever made.
Levi played Premiership rugby union for Bath between 2017 and 2020, when he joined Ealing Trailfinders. A year later he signed for Worthing Raiders.
The rugby player-turned-reality star performed on X Factor: Celebrity in 2019 with fellow rugby players Ben Foden and Thom Evans as part of the group Try Star.
In 2020 he appeared on E4 dating series Celebs Go Virtual Dating and became the first rugby union player to come out as bisexual.
Depressed Levi was taking a break in Europe after being sidelined from rugby following a knee injury when he vanished.
Friend Richard Squire, who formally reported him missing to cops in Barcelona after his family informed , has described his decision to leave Ibiza as “sudden.”
